There’s another way to get to Koh Lanta thanks to Nok Air – you can now fly from Bangkok to Trang airport and then take the coach and ferry to get to Koh Lanta on one, all-inclusive ticket. This eliminates the hassle of having to make sure that the timings of your flights, ferry and bus all match up, although it’s still quite a long journey and not as convenient as flying into Krabi Airport and getting the express speedboat transfer to Lanta.

It’s a good budget option however – full details are on the Nok Air website. Simply select “Bangkok” and “Trang – Koh Lanta” from the drop down menus and your desired date of travel and the site will give you complete info not only on the flight departure from Bangkok but also the timings of the coach transfer from the airport to the ferry pier and then the ferry to Koh Lanta.
