Koh Lanta Noi loop

Cross the Siri Lanta Bridge north of Saladan onto the island almost nobody rides: mangrove, fishing villages, mosques, rubber, and very little tourism. There is no fixed itinerary here and no signposted route — it is a ride to explore rather than a list of stops. The bridge itself, about 650 m of smooth curve, is worth the photo.

Road notes

Mostly sealed, quiet, and easy riding, but with very little in the way of shops, fuel or help. Fill the tank in Saladan and carry water. Be respectful: this is a working Muslim community, not a tourist zone — dress modestly away from the beaches. If you ride down to the ferry pier during the December to March peak expect queues of vehicles on the approach road. Older guidebooks still say you need a ferry to reach Lanta Noi; that has not been true since 2016.
