Description
Low tide pulls the water back from Poohry’s stilt-house frontage and leaves red sand against turquoise shallows. Breakfast on the waterside deck changes with the tide, which beats staring at a car park before coffee.
The rooms are comfortable, clean and cooled by quiet air conditioning, with a fridge, shower and proper soft beds. Sea-view rooms are the pick, while the rooftop terrace is made for a book, a cold drink and several hours of accomplishing absolutely nothing.
Chompooh runs the place with homemade whole-food breakfasts, good Thai cooking and practical island help, including motorbike hire, laundry and onward transport. The setting sits among an east-coast fishing community near Lanta Old Town, with boats, stilt houses and daily village life outside the door.
Poohry rewards travellers who want Koh Lanta’s slower side. Sound carries through the building and local fishing boats start early, so light sleepers should bring earplugs; the morning coffee view over the changing tidal flats remains the entire point.
