Find out at Lanta Palace why Thailand is called the Land of Smiles. You'll leave us with a smile! The hotel is a small family run resort with just 35 bungalows. These are built of brick and cement and are set in rows along the beach and behind. We've planted lots of tropical plants around the bungalows and they grown lots since these photos were taken. Were right on Klong Toab Beach. You'll see our entrance off the main paved road in Klong Toab Village, soon before the turnoff to the National Park (where the rough road starts). That means we're in the middle of Ko Lanta and really well sited for exploring the island. The small village behind us is a typical local village, unsophisticated with a few small shops & simple eateries.
