LightHouse Beach bar and kitchen

Right on Khlong Khong Beach, LightHouse is the sundowner spot you hear about on Ko Lanta. Low tables and floor cushions face the Andaman, toes in the sand, with a bamboo-and-wood bar shaking easy daytime cocktails and fruit shakes. The kitchen keeps it simple and satisfying — Thai staples like pad thai and fried rice come out fast — and there’s a pool table if you feel like a game between swims. As the sky turns tangerine, the soundtrack shifts from beachy chill to deeper club grooves. Expect occasional DJ nights — Sundays are the regular draw — pulling a friendly mix of Lanta locals and travelers who know where to land after dinner. Drinks are poured strong, happy-hour deals pop up, and the vibe leans late without the hard sell. You’ll find it mid‑Khlong Khong at 955 Moo 2, a 10–15 minute ride south of Saladan pier. Aim for sunset and plan to linger; it’s open daily from noon until 2am (last checked March 2026).
