Three kilometre-long Klong Khong beach is perhaps the longest beach on Ko Lanta and is home to a comprehensive selection of budget and traveller orientated bungalow set-ups.

Klong Khong is located between Long Beach and Khlong Nin Beach, towards the centre of Ko Lanta's western coast.

The beach is very popular among travellers because of the reasonable rates, but the beach quality is a bit of an issue here. The sans is coarser than that of some of Ko Lanta's other beaches, but there's also a bit of an issue with swimming.

When the tide is low it gets quite rocky in places and swimming can become difficult, while at high tide the amount of sand narrows right down because the beach is quite steep down to the sea. A rocky reef which runs along the length of the beach further complicates matters -- especially during low tide.

 

On the upside, the snorkelling is pretty good offshore (at high tide) and there's no shortage of funky bars and cafes to relax in while you wait for the water level to get about right.

The beach is called Klong Khong beach after a khlong (canal) which runs behind the bungalows and empties out to see. This was probably quite pretty at one stage -- a long time ago before any bungalows were built, but today the khlong can get pretty festy -- and smelly -- and mosquitoes can be a real problem.

Towards the southern end is an area where the local fishermen tie up their boats to the shore -- this doesn't help the swimming potential of the beach, but makes for some very picturesque sunset shots.
