    Land ho — Pileh Lagoon

    Old charts were drawn in ink. The real thing is turquoise. Sweep the glass across the photo (or drag it on your phone) and the colour comes back wherever you look.

    • Bearing and range update as you sweep, like a real rangefinder.
    • You'll swim here on the Phi Phi voyage — Pileh is the stop most guests talk about.

    About us

    A small Lanta crew that reads the sea for you

    We're a local team based at Saladan Pier on the north tip of Koh Lanta. Our boats leave every morning for the islands we grew up around — Ngai, Mook, Kradan, Phi Phi and the quiet reefs off Koh Maa.

    We keep it simple: hotel pickup on Lanta, honest prices by season, and a captain who turns back when the sea says no. If we cancel for weather you get a new date or your money back.

    Book tours, a room and your airport van in one go, then pay later through a secure link we email to you.
