The east cost of Koh Lanta is flat with many local villages scattered along its coastline. The biggest town on the island is Lanta Old Town which is locally known as Ban Si Raya.

It is a picturesque town featuring rows of old wooden Chinese shop-houses dating back a century. Nearby along the coastline, local fishermen dock their long-tail boats giving the whole scene a very serene and exotic Thai look.
