Koh Lanta North – Klong Khong

Klong Khong Beach
Once a palm plantation and retaining many palm trees, Klong Khong beach is located right in the middle of the west coast, and so a perfect location from which to set off exploring.  Slightly shorter than its northern neighbors, it is also lined with all sorts of resorts and restaurants.  It has a slower, more relaxed atmosphere than its northern neighbors.  The beach is about a kilometer long with fine white sand and although rocks are uncovered at very low tides, this is not necessarily a disadvantage.  The tide pools are teaming with sea life and fascinating to explore for young and old, and make the snorkeling decent at high tide.  They also make amazing reflecting pools at low tide so instead of one stunning sunset, you see a kaliedascope of dazzling colors.  Swimming is fine a high tide so you get the best of both worlds.   There is a 7-11 and several shops where you can buy virtually anything you need.
