About this place
Lanta Old Town, also known as Si Raya, is the east-coast settlement on Ko Lanta Yai, separate from the island’s main west-coast beach areas.
Visit for a short walk through the settled waterfront streets and a meal, with time to notice the community and trading heritage. Ask before photographing residents closely and keep private doorways clear. The visit is a neighbourhood walk rather than an assurance that every waterfront shop is open.
Arrange road transport across the island and agree the return before setting off. The old town is not the same place as Saladan in the north. Use a current map and the exact accommodation address for pickups; the map point represents the settlement.
