Thai travellers and serious backpackers have known about, and been travelling to Koh Lanta for many years now. As an international tourist destination however, Koh Lanta has only recently started to take off. This surge in tourism, and consequently investment into the tourism industry, was greatly assisted when Krabi Airport re-opened in 1999. This helped to reduce transfer times making Koh Lanta so much more accessible.

The island of Koh Lanta, in Krabi province, consists of two Islands, Koh Lanta Noi (small) and Koh Lanta Yai (large). It is the latter where millions of dollars are being invested in new five star hotels, residential housing and upgrading the infrastructure, whereas the former, from a tourist standpoint at least, is only used for shuttle services between the two required car ferries.
