How to roam around Koh Lanta?

Getting around Koh Lanta efficiently involves a few options. Scooter Rental is popular and convenient, with costs around 200-300 THB per day ($5-8). Ensure you have a valid license and wear a helmet. Tuk-tuks and Taxis are available for short distances; a typical fare might be 100-200 THB ($3-6) depending on distance. Car Rentals offer more comfort, with daily rates starting at about 1200 THB ($34). Songthaews (shared pickup trucks) are a budget-friendly option for local transport on the island.

Public transportation is limited, so planning is essential, especially for remote areas. Bicycles can be rented for ~50 THB ($1.50) a day, ideal for exploring nearby spots. Note that roads can be rough, so exercise caution, especially during the rainy season.

What are the requirements going to Koh Lanta?

To travel to Koh Lanta, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months. If you're flying into Thailand, check visa requirements based on your nationality, as many travelers can enter visa-free for 30 days. For longer stays, apply for a tourist visa in advance.

From Krabi or Phuket, take a ferry or speedboat to Koh Lanta, with prices ranging from 300 to 600 THB ($8-$16). Alternatively, travel by road via minivan or car, using the car ferry from the mainland.

Consider vaccinations or travel insurance, especially if you plan outdoor activities. Tap water is not safe to drink, so rely on bottled water. Respect local customs by dressing modestly, especially when visiting temples.

Quite a smooth journey. I had no problems finding the office or the correct boat, and staff were fairly organized. The trip time was about an hour longer than advertised due to stops but still faster than the ferry, and I did have a view.

I made a mistake on booking the wrong time and missed my departure. I tried to cancel as well as rebook there was no way of contacting the ferry terminal or your company. So had to pay for 6 tickets when I needed only 3 They could if filled my seats if I was able to contact someone.

Van was very cramped and we made lots of extra stops to pick up or drop things off to different people. We arrived at the location approximately 1.5 hrs late - also owing to bad traffic I believe, but the additional stops certainly wouldn’t have helped. It was a very basic van with no real charging facilities (bar the driver’s USB ports which I did have to borrow to charge my portable charger). I would probably do it again if I had to but it wasn’t the most comfortable way to travel by any means

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
