100% Halal Hotel on Ko' Lanta, Krabi.

Lanta Klong Nin Beach Resort Assalamualaikum & sawatdiikha, I'm posting this from Lanta while on a one week Songkran holiday down south of Thailand. Lanta Island is heavily populated by Muslims which makes it a heaven for Muslim holiday makers. I met many Muslim tourists from all over the world here, especially from France. There are many hotels, resorts and eateries operated my Muslims but sad to say most of these places serve liquor, too. Today, I'm elated as I came across a 100% halal resort on Klong Nin Beach. The rooms are superb for the price with facilities like the swimming pool & spa, besides a restaurant with a whole range of food: Thai and international menu. Muslim women have the choice to swim when it's dark and without the lights on. Snorkeling trips can also be arranged via the hotel at affordable prices. For your information, Greenhill tours is a 100% Muslim tour agent which offers such trips.
