There is no airport on Koh Lanta, so at the moment there are no Koh Lanta flights that arrive direct on the island. Instead, you can fly to Krabi Airport and then get a speedboat transfer or a taxi transfer onto Koh Lanta.

The taxi has to make two car ferry crossings to get onto the island, and so the transfer can take anywhere between 2 to 3 hours, depending on queues at the car ferries. See more info and pricing on our Krabi Airport to Koh Lanta Taxi page.

The speedboat transfer is a lot faster – you take a 45 minute taxi ride from the airport to the speedboat jetty, and then have a 20 minute speedboat ride which brings you into Lanta’s main town of Sala Dan. You are then transferred to a taxi and taken direct to your chosen hotel. See our page Speedboat Transfer to Koh Lanta for more info and prices.

If you prefer, you can fly to Phuket Airport, and then go to Rassada Pier and make the ferry crossing to Koh Lanta. The ferry departs at 8am in the morning from Phuket which will probably mean staying overnight in Phuket the day before.

You can compares prices for Bangkok to Krabi flights and Bangkok to Phuket flights on Skyscanner.net which compares different airlines and shows you the cheapest price on a given day.
