  • Koh Lanta to Ao Nang express transfer door to door service. The Express combines an open back car pick up to Saladan pier to connect with the 12:30 speedboat. The speedboat ride misses any queue time at the car ferry, a waiting minivan taxi to take you to your hotel. Only operates during high season: November to April.
