Departing Phuket
Arriving Koh Lanta
Getting from Phuket to Koh Lanta involves a combined ferry and road leg — one of the scenic ways to cross the Andaman coast. Services depart from several Phuket points including Rassada Pier and Chalong Pier, with the crossing bringing you to Saladan Pier or Tha Sai Pier on Koh Lanta's north end. From either pier, the island's long sandy beaches and dive sites are minutes away.
The crossing and what to expect
Six operators sail this route, giving you a choice of speedboat and larger ferry options. The fastest services complete the journey in around 85 minutes. Morning departures, clustered between 07:00 and 09:45, take advantage of calmer Andaman conditions — the sea tends to be at its smoothest in the early hours and throughout the dry season from November to April.
Koh Lanta suits travellers after a quieter pace — long beaches, reliable dive sites off the southern tip, and a mellow atmosphere that fills up with families and divers rather than party crowds. Fares start from around THB 850. Book ahead over the high season; departures fill quickly, especially on the faster speedboat services.
