Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Lanta

Koh Lanta is a long island with a string of quiet beaches down its west coast. You can drive here by van using one short car ferry to Koh Lanta Noi and a bridge to Lanta Yai, or arrive by boat at Saladan, the northern village where all passenger ferries and speedboats dock.

From November to April, speedboats from Saladan link Lanta to Koh Ngai, Koh Mook, Koh Kradan and Koh Lipe. In the rainy season most of these stop.

Arriving in Koh Ngai

Koh Ngai (also written Koh Hai) is a small island with a handful of resorts along one long beach and very clear water. Boats drop guests at resort piers or on the beach.

Tell the boat crew the name of your resort when you board so they drop you in the right place.

Weather and season

Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
