Map of Ferries to Koh Lanta
To reach this large island in the Andaman Sea, you should head to the Rassada Pier in Phuket or take a passenger ferry from Krabi, with Bundhaya Speed Boat and Tigerline Ferry serving as the primary operators. While a vehicle ferry connects the island to the mainland via a short crossing, the high-speed passenger links are the preferred choice for those moving between the major archipelagos of Thailand. Referencing the navigation map is vital, as the main Saladan Pier is the central hub where you must transition to local transport to reach the southern resort beaches.

Andaman bridge island: Ko Lanta logistics
Ko Lanta is unique because it is technically accessible by car ferry (short hop) and bridge, yet most tourists arrive by passenger ferry. It serves as the transition zone between the busy north (Phuket) and the wild south (Lipe).
