Cooking Classes #
Time for Lime #
The original Thai cooking school on Koh Lanta, open since 2002. Located on Klong Dao Beach in an open-air beachfront setting with a pool. Classes run ~5.5 hours — you make curry paste, 2 starters, and 2 main courses, then eat what you cooked. A cocktail class is included in some packages. Recipes are sent home with you.
A portion of all profits goes to Lanta Animal Welfare, which rescues and treats stray animals on the island.
Prices:
- Single experience: 2,000 THB/person
- Cooking & Cocktail experience (pair): 4,000 THB for two
- Partner package (pair): 3,400 THB for two
- Children: 990 THB
Schedule: Monday–Saturday (closed Sunday)
Book directly at timeforlime.net — they prefer direct bookings so more goes to the animals.
Go-Karting #
Lanta E-GoKart #
A fun activity for adults and kids. Off season you can usually walk straight in; in high season it’s worth checking ahead. After each round you’re handed a little baby bottle to feed the koi fish, a cute touch that keeps the kids (and adults) coming back for another lap. Bring your own helmet if you have one.
Kayaking #
Mangroves #
Enter the mangroves, pay the 20b entrance fee, they will try to get you to rent from them or get a guide, ignore that. Then carry on past the toilet, over the bridge, there’s a little restaurant on the left that rents yellow/red kayaks for 500b for 2 hours
Massages #
- Anchan - the best
- Dreamy spa - also very good
- Maneelanta - good budget option
- Funky Fish - good beach option
