Koh Lanta Yai's topography is long and narrow. This island is home to " Chao Le" or sea gypsies who continue to maintain their traditional lifestyle and beliefs, such as setting a boat adrift to drive out evil and bring good luck, which is practiced during the full moon in June and November.
Sala Dan Pier is where tour operators, shops and banks are situated. Several beautiful beaches are in the west such as Hat Kho Kwang, Hat Lo Bara, Ao Phra Ae, Hat Khlong Khong and Hat Khlong Nin. A paved road runs along the beaches all the way from the northern part of the island to the headquarters of the Mu Koh Lanta National Park in the south.The landscape is dominated by a series of mountains covered with virgin rainforest. To the east features an old community. The district office was previously here and later relocated to Koh Lanta Noi. Most people on the island are Muslim. The communities of Ban Sang Ka -u still maintain their traditional Loi Ruea Ceremony.
Not far from the headquarters , Laem Tanot features a lighthouse, where visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of a pebble beach merging with a white sandy beach. At the end of the cape is Koh Mo, an ideal diving spot. Besides Laem Tanot, tourists can enjoy the Andaman Sea's spectacular view from many hilltop restaurants located in the central part of the island.
