The island's original settlement and district capital, a waterfront of old wooden shophouses and stilt houses over the water on the sheltered east coast, with temples, a long pier and seafood restaurants.
Practical
Post office and government hospital nearby. A 300 m jetty south of the stilted village serves ferries to Bor Muang on the mainland (year-round). Dinghy landing at the public jetty from mid-tide upward only; watch for nails. Hammock House and other craft shops line the street. Laanta Lanta Festival is held here in March.
