CHADA Beach Resort & Spa, This island forms the most southern district of Krabi province. It was known long ago by its name in the Malay language, Pulao Satak, which means Long Beach Island. Later, many Thais, both Buddhist and Muslim, came to live on the island making the island known as the island of “a million eyes”, which is the literal translation of Lanta in Thai. Others hold that the name is derived from Javanese "lan-tas", and means a fish grill (which is built of wood with a square grill on top where the fish are set in a circle). Several islands, including Lanta Yai, are considered to be in the National Park.
