Bali Beach (Bali Beach) on Lanta, aka Klong Khong – next big beach and my route area on this trip. Third in a row after Klong Dao and Long Beach. Between Long Beach and Khlong Khong two more beaches (Relax Bay and Secret Beach), but they are small and their can not be taken into account. Therefore, the third large and long beach on Lanta is Klong Khong.
Quite a strange place, “an amateur” in my opinion. I just I understand that it is not very popular with ordinary tourists who come for a beach holiday, and I understand why – this is some kind of Mars, not the beach. Nevertheless, people come, and housing here like as cheap, so that their customers Klong Khong always will receive.

Beach description
The length of Klong Khong is about 2.6 kilometers. Rough shoreline, somewhere a bay is formed, somewhere on the contrary a cape protrudes, but in general, he is all kind of strayable, with stones. From small ones that wallowing underfoot everywhere, to large piles of boulders.
The entire first line of Klong Khong is occupied by bungalows, and on the shore there are cafes-bambustayl, which is traditional for Lanta.
If facing the sea, the left side of the area is the least cupable, and if you settle on this beach, it makes sense consider housing in the area from the 7-Eleven online mini-market and to the right.
Everything after it to the left is more technical beach, here heaps of stones, and the beach itself expands and becomes huge flat glade, and even with high water here is practically impossible to swim.
The depth of the beach increases slightly, that is, the capital shallow water, shorter for the beach such a bottom relief is hard as it is there is. Everything is not very profitable, plus yellow coarse sand with stones. I would call only the right side of Klong suitable for bathing Khong, and even then – an amateur. I didn’t just call this post “fabulous” Bali on Lanta, just the meaning is not that he fabulous-unbelievable, but the fact that fabulous-invented.
Entry, depth and waves
What Klong Khong seemed strange to me was the relief of the bottom and quality coverage, let’s say. Despite the fact that he places Cupable, and at high tide, and at low tide, the beach does not look very attractive. Even with a good deal with the tide, you are fine it is clear that under the water along the beach there is a barrier of stones.
If you go from coast to horizon, then you cross this bottom a barrier that looks like a layer cake: sand, sand with stones, stones, a lot of stones, sand again. If the tide can this cake swim across, then beyond it will already be clean sand and the depth can, to the waist, neck.
And at low tide to the water will have to wade on foot and barefoot through all these stones and only 40 meters away will be relatively deep. In general – see the pictures, everything is clearer there than on in words.
Sun beds and shade
Sun beds are near the territory of hotels and cafes, and also on the beach quite a few bamboo arbors with palm leaf roofs (such a tropical comfort, with a couch and a table). Great shelter from the sun, but for free, without ordering anything from the menu, you will not be allowed here.
I did not see the rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, but there was a natural shadow here more than enough, although the beach facing west will always hot afternoon, so from the umbrellas to sense anyway few.

Infrastructure
Infrastructure on Klong Khong is also there, though it is a bit thinned out: everything is concentrated around 7-Eleven, and a little away from him – there is already less dense. Many cafes, that on shore that along the road. In style they are all so rastamanskie, Bambustayl, and create the atmosphere of careless hippies, backpackers Raya.
This area has one 7-Eleven network mini-market. near which the maximum concentration of cafes, shops and other tourist services, but in principle and throughout the area all it is.
Houses and hotels on the beach
Despite the fact that the choice of accommodation on the beach of Klong Khong is enough high, I remind my recommendation – to settle in the right half beach and closer to the center. There is more or less tolerable infrastructure under sideways, and more or less decent seabed for swimming. Before On a trip, I signed up for myself these three options for hotels:
- Lanta Fa Rung Beach Resort
- Hana Lanta Resort
- Lanta new coconut bungalow

How to find the beach
The road passes a hundred meters from the shore and you can get to the beach through the territory of a resort, or on adjacent jays (secondary paths of the settlement). Jay on Klong Khong most often there are dirt, not concrete, and on the main road There are always exit signs to the beach.
I turned one at a time like this with the inscription Bali Beach, maybe this cafe, in which you will be rested on the shore. Maybe they are positioning this beach is Balinese, but in her name she herself does not have the words Bali It has.
