Good to know before you go

Leaving Phuket

Phuket is joined to the mainland by bridge, so most people arrive by air and use its piers to reach Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Phang Nga Bay. Big ferries leave from the east coast near Phuket Town, not from the beach resorts on the west side, so build the road transfer into your plans.

Allow 45–60 minutes by road from Patong or Karon to Rassada Pier. Many tickets include a hotel pick-up, so check before booking a taxi.

Arriving in 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.

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.
