Koh Lanta - Klong Dao
Edit SpotAbout
Good fun waves in an uncrowded beautiful spot. Coming into the main season they are excellent for beginners and those who just like to cruise.
Atmosphere:
Thailand doesnt have epic waves but this spot is good by local standards. The lifestyle on Lanta is laid back and the waves good fun.The best waves are from April to November with the peak swell being June and July. There are a few spots still to be surfed and can be accessed by longtail. Nothing in Dec, Jan, Feb - unless you like a few inches.But good for SUP.
Additional Info:
A few peaks along the beach - just pick your spot.
