Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- SueWaterlooville, UK7 contributionsThis centre does amazing things for the countries dogs and cats. If you have pets the their story will move you. It's because of them that Ko Lanta does not have an excess of stray cats and dogs.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dave SmithLondon, UK245 contributionsIt’s a long beach, the hotel’s and resorts keep the beach clean during the high season, so it’s great to walk along - a little sand between your toes will ease your woes’ - plenty of bars, restaurants, massage places and ‘broccoli’ bars available the whole length, the sea is warm and stays fairly shallow for a fair way out, so great for families. Also the best place to see an amazing sunset.Written 4 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JakubPerth, Australia80 contributionsWorth a quick visit if you’re staying on Koh Lanta. Quiet fishing village style buildings with souvenir shops and restaurants over the water.Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charlotte ESydney, Australia6 contributionsThe beaches are stunning, especially Kantiang Bay, with its soft sands and clear waters. The local food is fantastic—definitely try the fresh seafood! Snorkeling nearby is a must; the marine life is amazing. Overall, it’s a laid-back paradise that’s perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend it!Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nadja H3 contributionsNice really lonely island in the jungle - it was an adventure for us to really escape from the tourism but 3 days are enough in the wild loneliness :DWritten 15 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bisca404Cologne, Germany16 contributionsWe went from Pimalai Resort with a private speedboat with Opal Tours to Ko Rok for a half-day tour – a great experience: the beaches are marvelous. We were lucky and were alone there except for a sailing boat whose crew we did not see. In addition, we went snorkelling at two different sites, with blue starfish as a highlight. The trip from Pimalai took about 40 minutes. The outward journey was very nice, the return journey quite rough due to a sudden storm. All in all: definitely recommended!Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AneyrSundbyberg, Sweden46 contributionsKlong Dao Beach is absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed lovely walks, and in the evenings, we strolled along the beach to various cozy restaurants. It was simply fantastic.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jamie MChelmsford, UK175 contributionsIt is a beautiful beach. Long, must be a good 1km, lovely soft sand, immaculately looked after.
I would say this is one of the best beaches I have ever been to. Just seems very natural and unspoilt. It is a quiet beach, but there are bars and places to eat dotted around.
If you are in this area, it is a must if you are a beach lover.
The sea is also lot warm at the moment (November).Written 7 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Paul BChorley, UK10 contributionsBasically a great beach! With the fact, Klong Nin beach doesn't have mountains of hotel and other accommodation means the beach is never over crowded. During the morning, it is odd people going for a walk along the shore line. Noon to mid afternoon the beach can be almost empty due to the heat and humidity. At about 3ish, people start to appear to grab some sun before it goes down. Great sunsets if you want to sit on the sand or in a bar. There are plenty of restaurants and bar to sit and enjoy the sunset.
The sand is good but not the very fine sand you see on Caribbean beaches. There are large rocks in the sea. If the tide is in, then you simply swim over them. If the tide is fully out, then you can navigate through them. If it is inbetween, then it get a bit tricky!
The sea is very warm and great for swimming in.Written 20 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Lemme U4 contributionsAmazing beach!
Great hike in the jungle, but quite rough on one end (depending from where you start) due to no proper stairs, as the clay is very slippery.
We did not see many animals neither.Written 22 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - extendedrangerKauai, HI126 contributionsA must do if you're in to this kind of adventure. Hard to find, not signed well but Google Maps gets you close. Guide is nice but does not speak English. 300 Baht per person, bring cash. Half hour hike uphill through jungle to the entrance then about an hour tour inside the cave system. It's hot and humid even in the cave so bring a generous amount of water. Headlamps provided by guide. Also prepare to get muddy walking through water at times and the exit at the end is basically crawling through a puddle. But it's worth it!!! The incredible bat room at the end is amazing.Written 30 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ali C27 contributionsGORGEOUS BEACH but the Monkeys are vicious!!!! BEWARE
I was watching a few monkeys trying to get into someone’s backpack, there was a group so they managed to shoo them away. Then within seconds the monkeys, 5 or 6 were circling me, I walked back wards as they circled even closer, I then had to swing my bag to deter them and they started to hiss and bear their teeth… It was scary as hell.
Luckily, some guys on the beach ran to my aid raising arms and shouting at the monkeys and they dispersed and I ran away!
I am still not sure what I would have done without the help of these kind strangers…
