Our pick for budget

฿400–฿700 · 1h–1h40 · Ao Nang Travel and Tour, Chaokoh Travel Center, Lanta Petpailin

Same option twice: on this pair the quickest way is also the cheapest, which is rarer than it sounds — it usually means one operator has the route to itself.

Booking notes

Ferry · 1h–1h40 · ฿400–฿700

Runs on the high-season timetable roughly November to April and thins out or stops in the monsoon months, when the route reverts to Phi Phi–Krabi and then a minivan.

Ferry + Ferry · 3h45–6h40 · ฿750–฿1,150

Koh Phi Phi → Krabi & Ao Nang: ฿450 adult, published by the operator — ฿250 less than the same crossing from Phuket, and shorter. If Phi Phi is the target, arriving at Krabi airport beats arriving at Phuket's.

Krabi & Ao Nang → Koh Lanta: Klong Jilad pier to Saladan. High season is roughly October to April; through the monsoon the minivan is the leg that keeps running.

Ferry + Speedboat / catamaran · 4h–6h50 · ฿2,050–฿2,400

Koh Phi Phi → Phuket: ฿700 adult is Andaman Wave Master's own published fare. Rassada pier is 30–40 minutes from Patong by road, which people routinely forget when timing the last boat.

Phuket → Koh Lanta: Half the time of the ferry for close to double the fare. In choppy water the speedboat is the rougher ride, not the smoother one.

Ferry + Minivan · 4h15–7h15 · ฿700–฿900

Krabi & Ao Nang → Koh Lanta: Runs whatever the sea is doing, which is the whole argument for it. Our source still describes two short vehicle-ferry crossings on the way in; bridge work has been under way on that link, so check on the day rather than assuming either version.

Ferry + Ferry · 6h–9h50 · ฿1,500–฿1,800

Koh Phi Phi → Phuket: ฿700 adult is Andaman Wave Master's own published fare. Rassada pier is 30–40 minutes from Patong by road, which people routinely forget when timing the last boat.

Phuket → Koh Lanta: Three and a half to five hours, usually with a Phi Phi stop where you change boats. Dry-season service; November to April is when the timetable is full.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta?

1h–1h40 on the quickest option we hold — ferry with Ao Nang Travel and Tour. The slowest of the 5 options here takes 6h–9h50, so the spread between them is about 6h35. Times are for the scheduled leg and exclude the transfer at either end.

How much is Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta?

From ฿400–฿700 one way by ferry, checked 7 September 2026 — and on this pair that is also the quickest way, so there is nothing to trade off. The dearest of the 5 options here runs to ฿2,050–฿2,400. That band comes from a dated route listing rather than a published tariff, so treat it as indicative.

What else runs between Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta?

4 other options. The next one after ferry with Ao Nang Travel and Tour is ferry + ferry with Andaman Wave Master at ฿750–฿1,150 and 3h45–6h40, changing at Krabi & Ao Nang — dearer and slower. All of them are in the table above with their operators and frequency.

Does the Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta route run all year?

Not every leg of it. 4 of the legs behind these options carry a season note — Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta by ferry: Roughly November–April; sparse or suspended May–October · Krabi & Ao Nang to Koh Lanta by ferry: Full timetable roughly October–April; reduced May–October · Phuket to Koh Lanta by speedboat / catamaran: Dry season, roughly November–April · Phuket to Koh Lanta by ferry: Dry season, roughly November–April. At least one option on this page runs year-round, so the route itself does not close — but the choice narrows in the monsoon.

Where does the Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta service leave from, and how often does it run?

Runs on the high-season timetable roughly November to April and thins out or stops in the monsoon months, when the route reverts to Phi Phi–Krabi and then a minivan. One or two sailings a day, high season.

Going the other way, or further

The return trip is on the Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi page — fares are the same in both directions on almost every leg here, but the timetables are not. To string this hop into a longer trip with a pace check, use the route planner, and see the island comparison for which coast is dry in the month you are travelling.
