Each year during March the Laanta Lanta Festival kicks off on the island of Koh Lanta. The festival lasts around three days and is a vibrant display of the cultural diversity found on the island.
Koh Lanta is home to Buddhist, Chinese, Muslim and sea gypsy inhabitants, all of whom reside together in perfect harmony. Unlike so many places in the world, the people of Koh Lanta respect each other’s beliefs and customs, and live at peace with one another.
The festival features live music, dance, cultural displays, market stalls and, of course in typical Thai festival style, plenty of feasting. It is a lively affair which attracts revellers from across the Krabi Province as well as many tourists.
