Why it matters
Why Baan Laanta Bay View Restaurant, Kantiang Bay is worth your time
Kantiang Bay is a smaller, calmer part of the island than Long Beach, and a barbecue restaurant that works with the local catch fits that setting.
It also shows the range of prices on Lanta, from a modest curry to a grilled fish. Knowing both exist lets a family choose what suits the budget on the day.
The quiet of the bay is the other draw. Older travellers who find Long Beach loud in the evening may prefer a meal here, finishing before the bar fills.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage's Ko Lanta guide lists Baan Laanta Bay View in Kantiang Bay, serving a seafood barbecue with fish caught locally each day, plus stir fries and curries priced at 100 baht on the regular menu when the page was written. Treat that price as old.
Choose the grilled fish if you eat seafood and ask for the price by weight. Stir fries and curries make a simpler alternative for children or older diners, and you can ask for mild spice.
The in-house Aqua Bar serves cocktails, so the evening can run late. If you want a quiet meal, go early. The restaurant has no diet tag, and the page gives no vegetarian information.
