Lanta Yai East-Coast Mangrove Boardwalk
7° 35.7′ N · 99° 4.3′ E
A mangrove boardwalk on Lanta Yai's sheltered east coast, the easiest way to see the mangrove forest that fringes the inner channel facing Lanta Noi and Koh Talabeng.
Practical
Mapped in OpenStreetMap as 'Mangroves walk (40THB)': entry about 40 THB (date unknown, verify locally). Reach it by road; there is no yacht access from this side because of the shoal channel. Wikivoyage lists kayaking through the mangroves and longtail tours among Lanta's activities; tour operators in Saladan and Old Town run guided mangrove kayak trips (book locally). Go at high water for kayaking.
Best for
Mangrove walk or kayak on a lay day
