Why go, and how to do it well
Loh Lana Bay sits along the Andaman Sea coastline of the Phi Phi Islands, tucked within Krabi Province in southern Thailand. The bay draws visitors with its sheltered waters, limestone surroundings, and relative quiet compared to the more heavily trafficked beaches on the islands. It forms part of the scenic cluster of bays that make Phi Phi a destination for those exploring the area by boat or kayak.
Visitors can expect a natural, undeveloped setting with clear water and the rugged karst scenery typical of the Andaman coastline. The bay is accessible by longtail boat or as part of island-hopping tours that depart from Phi Phi Don or Krabi Town. Because the Phi Phi Islands attract large volumes of tourists, arriving early in the day or visiting outside peak season gives a noticeably quieter experience.

Tips for Visiting Beaches
Go Early for Empty Sand
Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. Sunrise walks on Kata, Chaweng, or Railay are magical — and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
Explore Beyond the Main Strip
Every popular beach area has quieter alternatives nearby. Rent a scooter and ride 10 minutes from Patong to find Freedom Beach, or head to Phuket's northeast coast for nearly empty shores.
