How do you get to Koh Lanta Noi?

The journey itself is worth it and takes you through a less touristy part of Koh Lanta. From Koh Lanta Yai, you cross the bridge to Koh Lanta Noi.

The roads gradually become even less busy, but remain well maintained. You pass through small villages with traditional wooden houses, fishing boats, and expansive mangrove areas.

Note: Google Maps shows the restaurant along the road, but it is actually on the other side, by the mangroves and the sea. The turn-off is marked with a sign, but coming from the other direction it can be confusing. The last 100 meters are a bumpy sandy track.
