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 Railay
Railay is on the mainland, but limestone cliffs cut it off from the road, so every arrival is by boat. Ferries between Ao Nang, Phi Phi and Lanta stop off Railay and passengers transfer by longtail, so expect to wade or climb down to a small boat with your bags.
Pack light: transfers to and from the big ferry are by longtail and you carry your own luggage across the boats.
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.
