Ko Phi Phi is 35 kilometres to the west of Ko Lanta and is where you'll find the Ao Ton Sai Beach, Long Beach and Laem Tong Beach. The Phi Phi Long Beach Resort & Villa and Bay View Resort - Phi Phi Island are just some of the short and long-stay alternatives in Ko Phi Phi. Alternatively, you could stay in Ko Poda, 45 kilometres to the northwest of Ko Lanta, where you can choose from the Poda Island Resort and Railay Bay Resort and Spa. Should you choose to stay in Ko Poda, make sure you visit the Miracle Beach and Tup Island.

Before you leave Krabi - Trang, make sure you catch some local sport. Visit Ao Nang Krabi Boxing Stadium to the northwest of Ko Lanta. Sports fans wanting to sleep near to the sporting action can take their choice from the Pornthep Mansion or the Beach Terrace Hotel.

Travellers planning on arriving or departing through Krabi International Airport may find it convenient to stay at the Baansuan Rimnom Resort or the Palm Driving Range & Resort, which are both conveniently close.
