TRAVEL TO LANTA ISLAND, ASIA, THAILAND, KRABI NEAR PHUKET ISLAND

The main long beach on Koh Ngai is one of Trang's best a long silver of white sand that looks out onto distant limestone karsts but as you might expect; it's also one of Trang's most developed beaches.

While tourism seems to have barely a toehold on other islands dotted off the scenic Trang coastline, it's fully entrenched on Koh Ngai, with barely a yard of beachfront left undeveloped.

For some, this smacks of the over development seen on; Koh Phi Phi and Koh Samet. For others, it will be a welcome relief from the basic accommodation of the other islands.

Whatever your take, it's hard to deny the island's beauty. And you can take solace in the fact that most of the island is still left to nature;evident in the pairs of noisy hornbills that occasionally swoop out over the beach.

With comfort minded resorts, Koh Ngai is a good option for families. In addition to providing rooms with hot water showers and 24 hour electricity by there own generator, the island's resorts will be glad to provide enough activities for the whole family.

 The snorkeling is very good and there are ample reefs within easy distance, and, as with the other islands in the area, most resorts will organise snorkeling trips out to sites further afield.
