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 Yao Yai
Koh Yao Yai is the larger and quieter of the two Yao islands, with rubber plantations, Muslim fishing villages and views of the Phang Nga Bay karsts. Boats come from Phuket’s east coast and from the Krabi side.
The island is big and has little public transport. Arrange a transfer or rent a scooter at the pier.
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.
