Departing Koh Lanta
Arriving Ao Nang
Travelling from Koh Lanta to Ao Nang means leaving the island by ferry then continuing by road up the Krabi coast. Services depart from Saladan Pier or Tha Sai Pier on Koh Lanta's north end, with the journey completing at Ao Nang Beach or Nopparat Thara Pier. It's a straightforward route with a good mix of operators running speedboats and ferries.
Getting the timing right
Early morning is the most popular window, with multiple sailings departing between 06:00 and 07:40. These catch the calmest sea conditions and get you to Ao Nang in time for lunch — useful if you're connecting onward to Railay or another Krabi-area beach. The fastest services take around 90 minutes, though combined options with more road time can run longer.
Fourteen operators serve this corridor, so there's genuine competition on price and comfort. Fares start from around THB 469. The high season (November to April) sees brisk demand; book your seat a day or two ahead rather than turning up at the pier. Travel light — luggage goes in the hold or under the seat on the road section.
