Drone photo & video in Koh Lanta
In short
Drone photo & video in Koh Lanta — from $249. 60 min on location with a vetted local drone pilot; you receive 20 edited photos + 30–60-second aerial clip, plus the edited photos. The price is agreed before you book and does not move.
Why book a drone photo & video in Koh Lanta?
Koh Lanta is two coasts with opposite jobs: the west is a line of sunset beaches, the east is a stilted fishing town that only works in the morning. That is what decides how a drone photo & video is planned here: the drone pilot you work with lives in Koh Lanta and shoots across Andaman Sea, Krabi Province all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Kantiang Bay, the window to aim for is the last hour and a half before sunset. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than your diary: between ten and four the tropical sun is almost overhead, and timing is the one variable that genuinely changes the result.
What does the session in Koh Lanta look like?
The flight is planned in advance: take-off point, height and where the sun will be. We usually start at Kantiang Bay, then Long Beach (Phra Ae) where flying is permitted; where it is not, we pick the nearest place that is and tell you before you book.
