Departing Koh Lanta
Arriving Phuket
Getting from Koh Lanta to Phuket involves crossing water and then covering the road distance on the other side — our service combines the ferry leg with an onward transfer so you reach Phuket directly. The fastest option completes the trip in around 90 minutes, with fares starting from THB 726. Several operators cover this corridor, and there are up to 16 departures a day.
Piers and drop-off points
Boats leave from Saladan Pier or Tha Sai Pier on Koh Lanta's north end. On the Phuket side, services arrive at several points depending on the operator and ticket type — including Rassada Pier, Chalong Pier, and town-centre drop-offs. Check your ticket for the specific drop point.
The calmest conditions on the water crossing are in the dry season from November to April. If you're travelling with luggage, aim for a morning departure — the 08:00 sailing is a popular choice that gets you to Phuket well before midday.
