My favourite island in Thailand. There's not many local options as it's definitely a tourist hotspot, but there are some fantastic Thai options as well as international.
Below is some of the best food in Koh Lanta...
"This is probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to anywhere. It's a short Tuk Tuk ride from Long Beach and it's probably too difficult to find the first time without knowing, as it's well off the main road."
