Cheapest ferry ticket from Krabi to Koh Lanta: how to pay less

A cheap Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise

We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Krabi to Koh Lanta by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Timetable and season of the Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry

1-2 boats a day November-April; minivans all year - that is how frequently the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 2 hours at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your dates rather than a list that may be out of date.

If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Klong Jilad pier or Ao Nang

The ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta leaves from Klong Jilad pier or Ao Nang, in Krabi - Krabi is the limestone coast of the Andaman, with Railay beach, the Phi Phi islands and the four-island boat trips. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles typically 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Krabi has no rail or metro; airport buses, shared minivans and taxi counters serve Ao Nang and Krabi Town and suit one traveller with a light bag, but a private car is simpler for families, for Klong Muang and Tubkaek, for the piers, and for the long roads to Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Phuket.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Klong Jilad pier or Ao Nang; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Krabi to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes

Arrival: Saladan pier, Koh Lanta

You step off at Saladan pier, Koh Lanta. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Many travellers continue from Koh Lanta to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

On board, the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. Taking the car means driving on, parking as directed, and coming back down only at the arrival port.

• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
• Children's fares by age; infants generally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling

Things to do in Koh Lanta after the ferry

Koh Lanta is the laid-back island south of Krabi, with long quiet beaches and the old town on stilts. Start with Long Beach, Lanta Old Town and Mu Ko Lanta national park, then Koh Rok snorkelling.

We offer tours and transfers in Koh Lanta as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta

Every season has its case for Koh Lanta. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Krabi and Koh Lanta, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.

Ferry or flight from Krabi to Koh Lanta?

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta?

With a car there is no contest. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Koh Lanta to Krabi

The Koh Lanta to Krabi ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 2 hours. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta cost?

Ferry prices from Krabi to Koh Lanta move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

Just ask for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Krabi to Koh Lanta ferry.
