How To Get To Koh Lanta


How To Get To Koh Lanta In Brief


Flying To Koh Lanta

Krabi Airport is the nearest airport to Koh Lanta. Air Asia, Bangkok Airways and THAI Airways all provide daily flights from Bangkok to Krabi Airport.

THAI Airways
THAI Airways fly from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to Krabi Airport

THAI Airways and Bangkok Airways operate flights from Suvarnabhumi (airport code: BKK) Airport to Krabi (airport code: KBV) , so if you do not want to transfer between airports, we recommend you book your Krabi flight with THAI or Bangkok Airways.

Important note: From 1st October 2012, Air Asia will fly to Krabi from Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport (airport code: DMK) and not from Suvarnabhumi Airport. If you are arriving at Suvarnabhumi airport on an international flight and then wish to catch an Air Asia flight to Krabi, you will need to transfer from Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang airport. This can be anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic. As such, please plan your flight timings accordingly to give you plenty of time to go through passport control, collect your baggage, transfer to Don Muang airport and check in again. You can read more information about Air Asia moving to Don Muang airport on the Air Asia site.

Check Skyscanner for the latest flight schedules and prices. This site compares all airlines on the specific dates you choose, letting you easily see which one is offering the cheapest price. You can also choose a date range to see if it’s cheaper to fly a couple of days earlier or later.

Flying from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong to Krabi
You can fly direct from Singapore to Krabi with Tiger Airways. Again, check Skyscanner to ensure you are getting the cheapest flight. You can also fly direct from Kuala Lumpur to Krabi with AirAsia. Hong Kong to Krabi is unfortunately not possible direct – you need to go via Bangkok.

Public Minivan Taxi to Koh Lanta

The cheaper option is to get a minivan taxi at Krabi airport, which seats up to 10 people and departs from the airport when the taxi is full. Backpacks or suitcases are stored on top of the van and conditions can be a little cramped.

Minivan taxi cost: 300 Baht per person.

To catch a minivan taxi, we strongly recommend you get an early flight from Bangkok to Krabi as the last departure for minivan taxis from Krabi Airport is around 1pm.

The journey time from Krabi Airport to Ban Saladan is between 2 to 3 hours. The time varies as there are car ferry crossings between the mainland and the islands. We recommend you bring water and snacks for the journey.
