Koh Lanta in southern Thailand, near Krabi and Phuket is a lovely island which has managed to maintain its very own personality and special qualities despite the fact that more and more people have discovered the island’s attractions during the past few years. This is a place where you can unwind and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the good (and cheap) food and the beautiful beaches. On Lanta there is still no sight of the hectic commercialism that most tourist places around the world seem to think is what all holiday makers crave. Great scuba diving too!
The center is located Pra-Ae, Long Beach.
