Piers & Hotel Transfer Info

  • Departure Pier: Phuket (Rassada Pier). All scheduled ferries and speedboats to Koh Lanta depart from Rassada Pier, located just southeast of Phuket Town. Please arrive for check-in at least 30 minutes prior to departure.
  • Phuket Hotel Transfers: Shared minivan pick-up from major tourist beaches (Patong, Kata, Karon, Phuket Town, Rawai, Nai Harn) is available on selected departures or as an optional add-on during booking. Remote hotel zones (e.g., Maikhao, Naiyang, Thalang) may incur additional fees.
  • Arrival Pier: Koh Lanta (Saladan Pier). Located at the northern tip of Koh Lanta Yai, Saladan Pier provides seamless access to local island transport and pre-arranged resort shuttles.
  • Koh Lanta Island Transport & Hotel Transfers: Hotel drop-off on Koh Lanta is not included in the ferry/speedboat ticket. However, getting to your hotel is very easy and convenient—local shared songthaews, private taxis, and motorbike rentals are readily available right at Saladan Pier upon arrival, or you may arrange a pickup directly with your resort.
  • Saladan Pier Environmental Fee: Koh Lanta local authorities collect a nominal pier sanitation and environmental maintenance fee of 20 THB per person in cash upon arrival at Saladan Pier.

Good to Know Before You Book

  • Speedboat vs Ferry Travel Time: Direct speedboats make the crossing in approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Larger passenger ferries and connecting services take approximately 3.5 to 5 hours, offering air-conditioned cabins, sundecks, and a brief stopover at Koh Phi Phi.
  • High Season vs Low Season: Direct daily speedboat services operate predominantly during High Season (November to April). During Low Season (May to October), sea routes are subject to weather conditions and may operate on reduced ferry timetables.
  • Seating Policy: Seating operates strictly on an open-seating, first-come, first-served basis. On speedboats, the boat captain and crew will coordinate seating for optimal vessel balance and smooth navigation.
  • Luggage Allowance: Standard ticket includes 1 check-in suitcase (up to 20 kg) and 1 personal carry-on bag per passenger. Oversized items may incur an excess luggage handling fee at the pier counter.
  • Safety & Health Restrictions: Speedboat travel is strictly prohibited for pregnant women, infants under 1 year old, and travelers with spinal, back, or neck conditions. The large passenger ferry is the safe, recommended alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does the boat journey take from Phuket to Koh Lanta?
Travel time depends on the vessel type. Direct speedboats take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Larger passenger ferries and connecting services take between 3.5 to 5 hours, as they typically include a short passenger transit or brief stopover at Koh Phi Phi (Tonsai Pier) en route to Saladan Pier.
What is the difference between taking a speedboat and a ferry to Koh Lanta?
Speedboats are the fastest choice (around 90–120 minutes) and offer direct routes across the Andaman Sea. Ferries are larger, more stable, and feature spacious air-conditioned passenger cabins, open observation decks, and onboard restrooms, making them ideal for families, travelers prone to seasickness, or those carrying extra luggage.
Where do boats depart in Phuket and arrive in Koh Lanta?
All scheduled ferries and speedboats depart from Rassada Pier in Phuket and arrive at Saladan Pier at the northern tip of Koh Lanta. Both piers offer passenger amenities, ticketing desks, taxis, and pickup zones.
Is hotel pick-up in Phuket or hotel drop-off on Koh Lanta included?
In Phuket, hotel pick-up from major beach areas is available on selected departures (labeled "Free Pick-up") or can be booked as an optional add-on. On Koh Lanta, hotel drop-off is not included in the boat ticket; however, finding transport is quick and effortless as shared songthaews, local taxis, and resort pickup vehicles are readily available at Saladan Pier upon arrival.
Do boats between Phuket and Koh Lanta run all year round?
Direct speedboat services operate primarily in the High Season (November to April) when the Andaman sea conditions are calm. During the Low Season (May to October), speedboat trips may be suspended or limited, and travel is commonly serviced by passenger ferries via Koh Phi Phi, subject to daily marine weather forecasts.
Does the boat from Phuket stop at Koh Phi Phi on the way to Koh Lanta?
Direct high-season speedboats (such as Satun Pakbara or Bundhaya) sail directly from Phuket to Koh Lanta or make only a momentary 5-minute passenger stop. Standard passenger ferry services (such as Chaokoh or Andaman Wave Master) stop at Koh Phi Phi (Tonsai Pier), where passengers may either stay on board or change to a connecting vessel bound for Saladan Pier.
How early should I arrive at Rassada Pier for check-in?
Please arrive at Rassada Pier at least 30 minutes before departure. Present your Phuket TourZ digital booking e-voucher at the respective boat operator counter to receive your physical boarding pass and luggage tags before heading to the boarding gate.
Are pregnant women or infants allowed on the speedboat to Koh Lanta?
Under maritime safety regulations, pregnant women, infants under 1 year of age, and individuals suffering from back or neck ailments are strictly prohibited from riding on speedboats due to unpredictable wave impacts. We strongly advise choosing the large passenger ferry for a smoother, safer voyage.
Is there any pier entrance or environmental fee on Koh Lanta?
Yes. Upon arrival at Saladan Pier, local municipal authorities collect a nominal bridge and island environmental maintenance fee of 20 THB per person in cash. Please have small Thai Baht banknotes ready when disembarking.
