The best way to do it is via Koh Phi Phi \u2014 combining two transport legs into one scenic journey rather than a direct land-sea-land slog. This guide covers the combined route, the direct minivan option, and all departure times.<\/p>\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/agent.12go.asia\/tools\/widget\/country_widget.js\"><\/script>\n<onetwogo-country-widget\n  country=\"TH\"\n   width=\"400\" agent=\"16173966\" lang=\"en\" fxcode=\"USD\" wl=\"12go.asia\">\n<\/onetwogo-country-widget>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Koh-Lanta\/Phuket\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=koh-lanta-phuket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Koh Lanta \u2192 Phuket tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Speedboat via Koh Phi Phi (Recommended)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scenic route \u2014 speedboat from Saladan Pier (Koh Lanta) to Koh Phi Phi (~1.5 hours), then onward speedboat from Phi Phi to Phuket\\&#8217;s Rassada Port (~45 minutes). Stop at Phi Phi for a few hours or overnight before continuing. In high season (November\u2013April), multiple daily departures. Fares: Lanta \u2192 Phi Phi ~400\u2013600 THB, Phi Phi \u2192 Phuket ~800\u20131,000 THB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Koh-Lanta\/Koh-Phi-Phi-speedboat\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=koh-lanta-koh-phi-phi-speedboat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Koh Lanta \u2192 Koh Phi Phi speedboat tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Koh-Phi-Phi\/Phuket-speedboat\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=koh-phi-phi-phuket-speedboat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Koh Phi Phi \u2192 Phuket speedboat tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Direct Minivan to Phuket (Land Route)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A direct minivan from Koh Lanta (via car ferry from the island) to Phuket takes approximately 4\u20135 hours. Departs morning from Saladan area \u2014 the minivan boards the short car ferry across to the mainland, then drives north via Krabi to Phuket. Cost ~300\u2013400 THB (~$8\u201311 USD). Less scenic than the sea route but reliable year-round and unaffected by sea conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Koh-Lanta\/Phuket-direct-minivan\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=koh-lanta-phuket-direct-minivan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Koh Lanta \u2192 Phuket direct minivan tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 3: Via Krabi (Flexible)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferry from Koh Lanta to Krabi (~1.5 hours, ~400 THB), then minivan or bus from Krabi to Phuket (~3 hours, ~120\u2013200 THB). Good option if you want to spend time in Krabi or Railay Beach before continuing to Phuket.
