I didn’t like the experience but it was probably great for others. We went around 5pm and there were lots of monkeys on the road and in the trees. The noise was terrible and it sounded like an attack or like a normal jungle. I was scared of them because they were aggressive. A monkey jumped on a little boy in front of me and kept teasing him. The poor boy cried and screamed. They seemed to be targeting children or little girls who were afraid of them. I wouldn't go down this road again. My husband loved it. The road is short, but a bit difficult to walk, and very hot and humid.

My girlfriend and I decided to drive to the Old Town on the afternoon of February 28, 2020. One caveat is that if from Lanta it is road construction... lots of dusty roads... motorbikes to watch out. Great visit... Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants.
