Location & what to see
Phra Ae is an area on Koh Lanta, an island in Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast, and the hostel sits in that part of the island. Long Beach, also known as Phra Ae Beach, is the nearest stretch of sand at 300 m, a long beach that suits a relaxed day by the sea. The island is reached by boat from the mainland, where Krabi International Airport is the nearest airport, so the last part of the trip is by water.
The island has several beaches, so there is room to move between them within the same day. Ao Hin Ta Re beach lies 1.2 km away and Lung Phon Beach 1.4 km away, and both are other stretches of coast to explore. Monday Market, 3.1 km away, is a local market, and Ba-Lai temple, 3.3 km away, is a Buddhist temple on Koh Lanta. Further inland, Khao Mai Kaew Cave is one of the island's natural sights.
A full day could start on Long Beach and continue to Khao Mai Kaew Cave and Mu Ko Lanta National Park, a protected area of forest and coastline. Beaches and the cave can be combined in one outing, which keeps the trip to the sea and the hills within the same day.
