Lanta Smile Inn
Description
Coconut sticky rice or fresh fruit appears outside the room in the morning, which is a rather civilised way to start a Long Beach day. Lanta Smile Inn keeps the useful bits close: Long Beach, restaurants, a minimart and the island’s main road are all nearby.
Rooms are modern, clean and properly equipped for a budget stay, with strong air-con, a fridge, kettle, safe and TV. The beds are generous, and the rooms sit back from the road noise. It is not a design hotel; it is a well-kept base with the practical kit already in place.
Mr Yim can arrange scooter rental, island tours and onward transport, saving the usual holiday sport of opening twelve tabs and trusting none of them. Laundry is available too, so a week on dusty scooters does not have to become a textile archaeology project.
Budget travellers and solo island-hoppers will get the most from it, especially for a few nights around Long Beach. The little morning snacks are the detail that sticks: sticky rice with coconut, papaya, bananas, and enough water, tea and coffee to stop the first-hour scramble.
