Find a Travel Companion
in Koh Lanta
Thailand's laid-back Andaman island of long beaches, hidden caves, and the kind of sunsets that make you cancel your next flight.
Travel better in Koh Lanta with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Koh Lanta spends about ~$25–55 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Koh Lanta.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Koh Lanta (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Wai Greeting
The wai (palms pressed together with a slight bow) is the Thai greeting. Return a wai when offered, as it shows respect and is appreciated, especially outside tourist areas like Lanta Old Town.
Muslim Community
Koh Lanta has a significant Muslim population, particularly in Old Town and the east coast villages. Dress modestly when visiting these communities and be aware that some local restaurants are halal.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Koh Lanta travel guide.
