A fairly large island compared to many of the southern Thai outcrops, Koh Lanta has a good variety when it comes to restaurants. From the luxurious eateries in the top resorts, to the lonely street vendor operating from their mobile cart, the food around Koh Lanta is delicious no matter the location or facility. It seems that everyone is a chef on Koh Lanta, as around every corner one finds a sizzling wok cooking beautifully fresh ingredients or blending together some of the islands freshly picked mangoes, banana and coconuts for a brilliantly refreshing smoothie on those scorching tropical days. But Koh Lanta is not all about the street food, although it is almost always surprisingly good and remarkably cheap. The island also offers some very fine eateries serving up both wonderful local and international cuisine. And the best thing about a good restaurant on Koh Lanta is that the view is more often than not a breathtaking vista of the bright blue Andaman Sea and to top that, Lanta is known for its glorious palm fringed sunsets of bright pink, red and orange.
