Koh Lanta Mania - How to get to Koh Lanta

Getting to Koh Lanta

Usually any traveler wishing to experience Koh Lanta will spend at least some time in Bangkok. So after everything the city has to offer, how do you get to the beach?

There are daily flights to and from Bangkok to Krabi International Airport provided by both AirAsia and Thai Airways. You will also find regular flights to/from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

From Krabi Airport you then have the choice of how you wish to continue your journey to the Island...

Bus

There are numerous minibuses traveling to the Island daily. This takes approximately 2.5 hours and costs around 300 Baht or $10 USD.

Buses run pretty much all day, everyday so catching one is easy.

If there is a group of you looking to enjoy Lanta, we can organize a private, direct bus for your party's transfer.

Private Car (Taxi)

You can book a private taxi to take care of your transfer from the airport to your Koh Lanta resort. This is best booked in advance to ensure the best price. Cost is around 2,400 Baht each way.

This is the easiest and most relaxing way to arrive on the Island after a long flight. So sit back, relax and enjoy watching the Southern Thai scenery go by.

Fast Speedboat Transfer

Arrive in style! If you can't wait to hit the beach the quickest way to travel directly from the airport to the Island (or vise versa) is to take a combined bus & speed boat transfer.

This requires advance booking, and only takes around 1.5 hours.

Train or Bus from Bangkok

There are daily trains & buses from Bangkok to either Trang (trains) or Krabi Town (buses). Any of the options detailed above can be used to get you to Koh Lanta from these places.
