As a more 'family friendly' island of Thailand, Koh Lanta is not known for its all night raves like its near neighbour Koh Phi Phi. This does not mean, however, that Koh Lanta does not have any nightlife to speak of whatsoever. On the contrary, many of the beaches, including Phrae Ae (Long Beach) and Klong Dao are lined with seaside bars which serve as perfect spots for a sundowner to watch the magnificent Koh Lanta sunsets and often begin to come to life after dark. If one is looking for more of a club scene, Saladan Pier would be a good bet and various places along the northwest coast of Koh Lanta. So although the island id not renowned for a crazy nightlife, Koh Lanta actually has some very good pubs and bars, with the odd club to cater for the early hour dance moves that may be in your repertoire.
