How to experience it
Amazing Lanta places Panorama just outside the Old Town, beyond the hospital, and describes it as serving Thai food with views and as open all year. The page uses the words not to be missed, which is the guide's judgement and not ours.
Since the page does not name dishes, order what you would at any Thai restaurant: a rice dish, a curry and a vegetable plate for the table, then adjust. Ask for no fish sauce and no egg if you avoid them, and for mild spice for older diners.
Because it is out of the Old Town, treat it as a separate stop. A taxi from the Old Town is the simplest route, and the driver can wait or return later.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Confirm hours before you set out
- Arrange a taxi or tuk-tuk for the return
- Ask about steps and shade on arrival
- Request mild spice and no fish sauce if needed
