BEACH
Klong Jark is our favorite bay in Ko Lanta. The bay is situated in the southwest part of Ko Lanta, and it is one of the quieter and more remote beaches on the island. It’s an excellent choice for travelers looking to escape the busier areas and enjoy a peaceful coastal retreat. Klong Jark gives us the feeling of what Ko Lanta looked like 20 years ago.
Klong Jark has a wide, quiet beach with fine sand with a creek dividing the beach into two. At high tide the beach is still very widespread. At low tide it is difficult to swim on the northernmost part of the beach, however, the middle and south part of the beach are suitable to swim all day long.
WHERE TO STAY
On the beach are 3 places to stay. Anda Lanta is a luxury resort, while Klong Jark Bungalows is a solid, budget option in a great location. Last Beach Resort is another budget option and has nice bungalows just next to their beach restaurant. On Klong Jark, all stays have their own kitchen. You will find 2 additional beach bars to eat, otherwise a 5 to 10-minute walk will take you to some small restaurants on the main road.
Most visitors arrive in the northern part of the island. Please note that a taxi from the pier to Klong Jark approximately costs 700 baht.
