Paddling the mangrove creeks and limestone cliffs between Koh Talabeng and Lanta Noi, straight from the sheltered Koh Talabeng anchorage.
Practical
Southeast Asia Pilot describes the Koh Talabeng anchorage (7°37.674N 99°08.119E) as well protected in 3-6 m between the cliffs of Koh Talabeng and Lanta Noi. Wikivoyage lists mangrove kayaking among Lanta's activities, and Wikipedia's Mu Ko Lanta National Park page notes mangrove forest on the park's smaller islands. Paddle on a rising tide to avoid getting stranded on mudflats. Position approximate: the Pilot's Koh Talabeng waypoint, the launch point.
