People of Koh Lanta Koh Lanta is home to three very distinct cultural groups – the Chao Ley (Sea Gypsies), Thai-Muslim people and the Thai-Chinese. All share the innate Thai warmth that is locally known as 'the Koh Lanta charm'. They have lived together in peace and harmony for hundreds of years in mixed communities around the island.
Festivals and Events In a world where culture and religious differences often divide communities and countries, Koh Lanta provides idyllic proof that people of diverse and varied ethnic groups can live together in peace and harmony for hundreds of years and welcome foreign visitors with their arms open.
