Flying To Koh Lanta
Krabi Airport is the nearest airport to Koh Lanta. Nok Air, Air Asia, Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways all provide daily flights from Bangkok to Krabi Airport. We recommend Nok Air because they allow the extra weight for scuba diving gear for free! You need to show your certification card at check-in.
