Lo Lanta is a large island (technically two islands) a few hours drive south of Krabi town. It has its share of lovely white sand beaches and tourist resorts for both rich and poor, but the island is big enough that it never felt very crowded.
We stayed at a resort called top view which was located on top of a little mountain type thing... hill I suppose, that dropped steeply down into the sea. The views and sunsets were incredibly beautiful but the tradeoff was that it was a bit of a hike to the beach.
The beach itself was huge and had great white sand. If anything the beach was too big because it was so hot out that walking the length of it made you feel like passing out and walking from the water to the shade would burn your feet terribly unless you wore sandals... which I generally refused to do on principle, much to my feet's chagrin.
This was a great place to rent a moto, though some of the roads left a little to be desire. We spent quite a few hours roaming around the island. Really Ko Lanta was just a great place to relax and unwind before heading into Bangkok, which I heard was like Hell except with more people trying to sell you things.
