Some info has been automatically translated.
Our home is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and unique houses in Koh Lanta, located in a real fishermen neighborhood in Old Town. If you are looking for an authentic local experience, but with style and comfort, our home is the place for you.

The space
The house is very spacious with a total inside living area of 108 m2, and an outside deck area of 114 m2, spread over 2 floors.

It can house up to 6 people, 2 in each of the two air-conditioned bedrooms and 2 either on the comfortable sofa beds in the living room or the master bedroom.

The house has a number of very unique elements that you might not find elqsewhere, like the layered wooden walls, shuttered windows, traditional Thai sliding doors, tree trunks as supporting pillars and branches as design elements of furniture and railings.

Our guests are usually initially stunned by the beauty and the atmosphere of the house and the breath-taking view.

In every corner of the house and the outside deck you can enjoy good quality wifi. If you stay with us for more than a week, we provide a once-weekly cleaning service to make your stay pleasant.

The house is in general NOT SUITABLE for very young children. Both floors boast large decks that are NOT FENCED. Therefore, there is a realistic danger of falling into the sea in high tide, or even worse, onto rocks in low tide. If you choose to book the house with your children, make sure they are mature enough to understand the danger and behave accordingly. Or alternatively, be willing to watch your child.

Guest access
You enter the house through a wooden door to find the spacious chill-out living room with relaxing sofas (which could function as beds for the 5th and 6th guests) and a hammock. The modern, fully equipped kitchen area has a beautiful and convenient wooden counter-top cooking island and various kitchen appliances. Can you imagine cooking delicious meals while facing your family and friends and the stunning ocean view?

The living room, with two big glass sliding doors, provides access to the huge relaxing deck on the water with gorgeous view of the ocean, big trees in the water (remaining proof of the mangrove that used to be there) and the various islands facing our house. On this floor there is a small bathroom with toilet and shower.

A staircase leads to the second floor, where you will find the two beautiful and cozy bedrooms, both with air-conditioning and direct access to the ensuite bathroom.

The master bedroom is a real treat. It is spacious (around 30 m2) and cozy (wood, wood, wood and the uniquely designed walls, windows and furniture). But most importantly, it boasts a 6 meter long sliding glass doors that either open or closed, will offer you an amazing view of the ocean from the comfort of your bed. The sliding doors open up to yet another private deck where you could swing on your hammock, read your book, or do yoga in the early morning hours, when the sky fills up with shades of gold and red.

Other things to note
It is important that you know that we are located on the East coast of Koh Lanta in a little village called Lanta Old Town, about 15 minutes drive from the west coast's beautiful beaches. You will need some kind of transportation to get to the beaches like scooter or car rental or taxis (but these are quite pricey). However the Old Town itself is really lovely with great restaurants, souvenirs shops, and some amazing activities around.

Stay with us if you are looking for an authentic stay in a beautiful wooden house facing sunrise in a cute local fisherman village. The house is incredible and it's a perfect place if you want to meet the locals. If you have any questions if our place is the right one for you, feel free to ask!

Neighborhood highlights

The neighbourhood is one of the most authentic local Thai neighbourhoods still found on Koh Lanta. Most tourist accommodation is located on the West coast of the island, next to the beaches. But our neighbourhood consists of a quiet area full of nature on the East coast, on walking distance from the beautiful and historical Old Town, where you will be able to find numerous good restaurants, souvenir shops, grocery markets, massage, pharmacy, 7-11 and more. The neighbourhood has the sea on one side, and mountains, rubber trees and jungle on the other. You can go for a beautiful jog between the rubber trees or a walk on the sea floor when the tide is low. It is quite common to run into chickens, ducks, many cats, dogs and even monkeys!

Your neighbours are a melting pot of Thai Muslim fishermen, Thai Chinese merchants, Sea gypsies, expats and other tourists. The neighbourhood is generally a quiet one, but prepare for the sounds of local Thai life: waves, birds, crickets, rain drops, boat motors, roosters, prayers from the local Mosque or Buddhist temple or just children playing outside.

Light sleepers might have a hard time sleeping the first few nights so if a good night sleep is really important for you, our place may not be right.

Although we are located on the water, it is usually not recommended to swim. In order to swim, you should visit the other side of the island, about 10 km to the closest beach. Continue reading how to get around on our island.

Nice to meet you! We are Mon and Maayan. We are a couple, Mon is Thai, and Maayan is Dutch/Israeli. We have been together since 2011 and have actually even met each other on Koh Lanta. We started Airbnb 6 years ago with our beautiful Wooda house. And from there we expanded slowly but gradually. We have a number of Airbnb's, Sweet Life Community Guesthouse in Old Town and Green Pepper resort not far from Long Beach. During Covid times we have started a successful YouTube channel called Sweet Life Lanta. Our channel is growing fast so feel free to have a look. It's about mixed cultures, our life and interesting stories of people on our island. Mon also runs a very successful Thai cooking school named Cooking with Mon, where you can learn how to cook delicious Thai food in a fun atmosphere. Feel free to ask us more about this when you contact us.
