About This Route

The Phuket to Koh Lanta fast boat is the quickest and most comfortable way to island-hop the Andaman Sea. Departing from Rassada Pier in Phuket Town, modern speedboats reach Saladan Pier on the northern tip of Koh Lanta Yai in as little as 60–90 minutes on direct sailings. Many services also call at Koh Phi Phi's Tonsai Pier en route, making this the same ticket that connects three of Thailand's most famous islands.


Saladan Pier sits in the island's main village, where songthaews, taxis and long-tail boats wait to shuttle you to Long Beach, Klong Dao, or resorts further south along the island's west coast. Most operators include luggage in the ticket price, and check-in closes about 30 minutes before departure — arrive early, especially for the morning boats when the pier is busiest.


The route runs at full strength in high season (November–April) with up to 10 daily departures, then thins out in low season (May–October), when direct sailings are fewer and most boats run via Koh Phi Phi. Whatever the season, book ahead through 12Go for guaranteed seats, live availability and instant e-tickets — walk-up tickets sell out fast on weekends and holidays.
