Rocks at low tide on Klong Khong Beach
During high tide Klong Khong’s beach and the colour of the water are amazing. However, whilst it is low tide many rocks appear in many places making it not good for swimming. Most resorts have swimming pools if you prefer to relax in the pool area.

Klong Khong is a great place to watch the sunset and at night many bars have their own fire shows and parties. Check out The Sound Shack Bar, Fisherman’s Cottage, Where Else, The Chocolate Bar and Bubble Jungle who host parties on different nights.
Not so many restaurants are situated on the beach but are set back in the resorts. If you want really great food head south on the beach to Fisherman’s Cottage. If you walk to the road you have a few scattered internet shops, coffee shops and Thai restaurants. Take a torch with you as this stretch of road does not have much street lighting.

As Klong Khong Beach is smaller than neighbouring Klong Nin, it is not that developed with a handful of hotels and restaurants. (See our Best Klong Khong Restaurants guide for more info). If you need more variety, a quick tuk tuk ride to Klong Nin provides lots more options on Klong Nin Beach itself, and there are also many places to eat along on the main road too. It’s also a short taxi or motorbike ride from Klong Khong over to Lanta Old Town, just over the other side of Koh Lanta, which has some beautiful old Thai wooden houses and several seaside restaurants and bars to enjoy.
