Introduction
|
 |
Cast adrift from reality, this almost surreally tranquil isle slumbers in the less frequented southern reaches of the Andaman Sea.
|
Koh Lao Liang island is a small island 20
kilometers offshore in the Koh Petra Marine Park, in Trang Province, Thailand.
Its breath-taking beauty and serenity make it one of the best places in Thailand, if not the whole world, to leave the cares of modern living behind. |

|
 |
Koh Lao Liang combines peace and relaxation with world-class
adventure sports.
|
Koh Lao Liang is an eco-resort - no trees were cut down and almost no concrete was used in the resort's construction. |
 |
 |
The stunning scenery has
been preserved intact, to spell-binding effect.
|
Koh Lao Liang is an idyllic paradise island with towering
limestone cliffs, quiet beaches, squeaky-clean sand and crystal-clear
waters. |
 |
 |
Many visitors adore this island and return time and again.
The single low-key beach bar on the island is a very friendly one. It is almost impossible not to make friends and have fun here.
|
|
Relax on Ko Lao Liang's beach, watch dolphins swim around
or a needle fish stalk a school of bait fish from 30 metres up
the rock-face. |
 |
 |
This is a fairly new and still totally unspoiled destination - see it before the Lonely Planet hordes descend. |
Activities included are: world-class snorkelling, kayaking, rock climbing, bouldering, deep water
soloing and offshore fishing (see below for more). |
 |
 |
As popular a pastime as the above activities is to quietly lie in a hammock and absorb the tranquility and unspoiled natural beauty of one of the last pristine paradises left in Thailand. |
Yes, the word 'paradise' is an over-used cliche, but we have only used it to describe one destination on this website - Lao Liang island.
|
 |
 |
The only resort on
the island, it is surrounded by crystal clear seas, powdery white
sands and dramatic limestone cliffs. |
Koh Lao Liang offers a unique and affordable back-to-nature tropical beach eco-experience. |
 |
 |
There is to our knowledge nowhere in the world like it - Koh Lao Liang is the perfect combination of peace and relaxation
with world class adventure activities. |
Koh Lao Liang is not reccommended for people who don't like Thai food.
While the tents are reasonably comfortable, it must be stressed that this is not a luxury resort. Room service does not exist, and some sand and small bugs in the tents are almost unavoidable.
|
 |
 |
The island has only one resort, which has no air-con or ensuite bathrooms.
Most travellers will love a stay of three nights or so. We reccommend booking three nights to start with, as extensions are not a problem. |
The logistical problems of running this resort on its secluded island are considerable, and supplies of milk and other important foodstuffs are sometimes interrupted. The quality of the food can vary from very good to rather average.
Most visitors feel that Lao Liang's pristine environment provides such a balm for the senses that they do not notice its lack of luxury facilities. |
 |
 |
Most visitors feel that the jaw-droppingly beautiful setting form the highpoint of their vacation.
Remember, also, that the rates include 3 meals a day.
There is now a small shop on the island, selling toiletries, cigarettes, batteries, biscuits, crisps etc. |
