About Lanta News

FAQ
What does Lanta News cover?

Lanta News is an independent English-language news site for Ko Lanta and the wider Andaman coast of southern Thailand. It reports island news across local and community affairs, the national and regional stories that affect the area, tourism and breaking news, alongside live Andaman Sea weather and marine data and practical travel guides to the island.

How often is Lanta News updated?

Lanta News publishes daily. New stories are added through the day as they come in, and the site's live weather and marine readings for Ko Lanta refresh continuously, so the front page reflects what is happening on the island now rather than a fixed weekly edition.

Is Lanta News published in English?

Yes. Lanta News is published entirely in English. It is the island's daily English-language news source, so residents, long-stay visitors and travellers who do not read Thai can follow local Ko Lanta news, notices and travel information in one place.

Can I get a daily news brief by email?

Yes. Lanta News sends a free morning email brief — the Lanta brief — that rounds up what happened on the island so you have it before you head out. You can sign up with your email address from the newsletter box on the Lanta News home page, and unsubscribe at any time.

What areas does Lanta News report on?

Coverage centres on Ko Lanta itself, from Sala Dan by the ferry pier down the west-coast beaches to Lanta Old Town, and extends to Krabi province and the Andaman coast of southern Thailand where events affect the island. Stories are filed under local, community, national, regional, tourism, weather and breaking news.
