Departing Ao Nang
Arriving Koh Lanta
Getting from Ao Nang to Koh Lanta means crossing the water and then continuing by road to the island — we handle both legs. Departures leave from Ao Nang Beach or Nopparat Thara Pier, and the journey arrives at Saladan Pier or Tha Sai Pier on Koh Lanta. The total trip takes around 100 minutes on the faster services.
When to go and what to expect
Most services leave in the morning, with departures from 07:00 onward well-suited to travellers who want to arrive on Lanta in time for the afternoon. Around 52 journeys a day run on this corridor, served by a range of operators with different vehicle types and routing options.
The sea is at its calmest during the dry season between November and April — the same period when Koh Lanta's long beaches are at their most appealing. Fares start from around THB 422. Koh Lanta suits those who prefer a slower pace: long shorelines, reef diving off the southern tip, and a relaxed atmosphere across the island.
