Koh Lanta the TV Show vs the Island: Avoid the Mix-Up

A quick clarification, since the two share only a name.

Summarize this page with AI

If you're here looking for France's TV show "Koh-Lanta," you're in the wrong place. This site is an independent travel guide to Koh Lanta, the real island in Thailand's Krabi province. It's an easy mix-up: "Koh-Lanta" is also the name of a long-running French reality TV series broadcast on TF1, and searches for the name are dominated by people looking for the show rather than for the island. If a link brought you here expecting show clips, episode guides, contestant news or streaming information, this isn't the right site. You'll want to search for the show directly or check TF1's own channels.

To be clear about the show itself, since we're not affiliated with it and want to avoid spreading anything inaccurate: the French TV programme moves between different tropical filming locations across its various seasons rather than being filmed specifically or permanently on this one island in Thailand. This site has no connection to the show, its producers, or TF1, and we don't cover it. Everything here is written for real travellers planning an actual trip to Koh Lanta, Thailand.

If that's what you're after, the real island, with its beaches, national park, ferries and things to do, you're in the right place after all. Our travel guide is the best starting point for planning a trip.
