You can take a minivan year-round or a high-season ferry via Phi Phi. This guide covers all options.<\/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\/Phuket\/Koh-Lanta\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=phuket-koh-lanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Phuket \u2192 Koh Lanta 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: Minivan Phuket to Koh Lanta (Year-Round)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shared minivans depart from Phuket Town or various hotel pickup points to Koh Lanta \u2014 approximately 3.5\u20134.5 hours including two short car ferry crossings, fares from ~350\u2013500 THB (~$10\u201314 USD). Departures typically morning (~08:00\u201310:00). Door-to-door service available from most Phuket hotels with advance booking.

Total approximately 4\u20135 hours with the connection, but you get a break on Phi Phi if you want \u2014 even just for lunch. A great option if you want to stop at Phi Phi en route rather than backtrack later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Koh-Phi-Phi\/Koh-Lanta\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=koh-phi-phi-koh-lanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Koh Phi Phi \u2192 Koh Lanta tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#x2139;&#xfe0f; Koh Lanta\\&#8217;s main beaches (Long Beach \/ Klong Dao, Klong Khong, Klong Nin) run down the west coast \u2014 about 5\u201325 km from Saladan pier depending on where you\\&#8217;re staying.
