Thailand is an island paradise, but finding one that meets the seemingly contradictory criteria of having tourist-friendly infrastructure, but no huge crowds of tourists, can be a challenge.
Ko Lanta may well be that hard-to-find island: The feeling of being in paradise is at least guaranteed during a visit to the island’s Nui Bay, with fine sand and the crystal-clear water of the Andaman Sea.
All that’s here is one wooden beach bar on the water, and another on the nearby mountainside – that’s really it. It might be due to the fact that the beach is in the far south-western reaches of the island; most tourists aren’t willing to make the effort to leave the many beaches in the north, where most of the accommodations also are.
LANTA ISLAND, 27 January 2021: From face mask to snorkelling
mask, Thailandâs Koh Lanta is a destination that is ready to welcome guests
safely as we head for a post-Covid-19 era and those vaccines kick-in.
We are still experiencing severe disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the pain of social distancing to varying degrees depending on our lifestyle and family connections, but we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccine programmes are rolling out and travel to our favourite destinations will resume soon. For now, we wait and see or muse over the making of a travel wish-list. But there is a growing sense of hope that the vaccine rollout and more robust testing pre-flight will signal that 2021 will be a turning point; the big comeback for international travel.
