Railay Beach to Koh Lanta

Many people fall in love with Railay Beach, but once you’re ready to move on and experience a more laid-back beach, Koh Lanta is the place to go. 

Koh Lanta is actually made up of two islands, Koh Lanta Noi and Koh Lanta Yai. All accommodation and most activities are based on Koh Lanta Yai, which translates to Big Lanta Island. There are nine gorgeous beaches for you to explore and plenty of activities to participate in once you arrive. 

Koh Lanta is known to be far more relaxing than some of its rowdy neighbors. While there is some decent nightlife, the chilled-out vibe is perfect if you want to relax, soak up some sun, and enjoy the uncrowded beaches on this stunning island.

Now that you are eager to check out Koh Lanta, you may be wondering, How do I get from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta? Read on to explore some of your options.

 

About the ride from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta

The distance from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta is approximately 60 km (37 miles). If you travel by ferry, you will travel south through the Andaman Sea. If you choose to take land transportation, you’ll travel around the peninsula, through Krabi town, and down to Koh Lanta. 

The Railay Beach to Koh Lanta ferry is the more scenic option. You’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the cliffs that cradle Railay, as well as the limestone karst formations that dot the coastline around Koh Lanta. The Andaman Sea is also known for its tranquil turquoise waters and gorgeous palm trees that line the various islands along the way.

However, transport from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta is not limited to the ferry. You could choose to take a minivan instead if you are on a tighter budget or prone to seasickness. 

It is essential to note the high season is from November through April. Ferries will only operate during this time because the seas are often rough and unpredictable during low season. If you plan on visiting Koh Lanta between May and October, you will need to arrive by minivan.

 

How to get from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta

The best way to travel from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta is by ferry. It’s the most convenient option as the ferry will pick you up right in Railay, allowing you to skip the hassle of getting a separate long tail boat to Krabi town. 

The minivan option isn’t as consistent because direct minivans do not always run. If you can’t get a direct minivan, you’ll have to transfer in Trang, which turns a three-hour journey into a seven-hour trek across Thailand's southern peninsula. 

Ferry

There are two options when it comes to taking a ferry from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta. 

The first option is a high-speed ferry through Tigerline Ferries, which takes approximately one hour. It is the more expensive option, with tickets starting at $50 per person. 

The high-speed ferry is the best way to get from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta because it includes your transfer to Klong Jilat Pier in Krabi and is the quickest transportation option. There are two departures per day at 11:30 am and 2:30 pm. 

You can bring two large suitcases and a carry-on if you travel with Tigerline. In addition, these boats have AC and bathrooms, making it a comfortable ride to Koh Lanta. 

It is possible to cancel or change your ferry ticket up to 48 hours in advance, which is very helpful if your travel plans change. You will also be given a full refund if your ferry is canceled due to inclement weather. 

Because it only takes one hour, it is possible to take a Railay Beach day trip from Koh Lanta, but it would be an expensive day.

A cheaper ferry option is the tourist ferry, operated by Ao Nang Princess. This boat costs $17 per person but takes twice as long to cover the same Railay Beach to Koh Lanta distance. 

The tourist ferry has similar amenities to the high-speed option – bathrooms, AC, TVs, and food and drinks for purchase. You can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views as you cruise through the Andaman Sea.

Ao Nang Princess allows passengers to cancel or change their ticket up to 72 hours before departure with no penalty. You should note, however, that you are only allowed one 20 kg bag with this option.

Make sure to check the ferry schedule for the most up-to-date information about when this boat runs as it changes frequently. 

Minivan

Another way to get from Railay Beach to Koh Lanta is to take a minivan. If you travel during low season, this is the only way. It’s also a good option if you’re on a tighter budget.

Throughout the year, there are direct minivans that run between the Krabi bus station and Koh Lanta. However, it is important to note that you will have to find your way to Krabi Town to make it to the bus station. There are two options for this.

First, you can take a longtail boat. It takes about 30 minutes and costs about $5. Longtail boats leave Railay Beach frequently.

Your other option is to take a taxi the 17 km into Krabi Town. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $8.

Once you arrive in Krabi Town, make your way to the bus station to find your minivan. Minivans depart on the hour each day. Tickets cost approximately $6.50 and allow passengers to bring one piece of luggage with them.

The ride takes about three hours, and the seats are relatively comfortable. Most minivans are equipped with AC, which is essential during the Thai summer. The downside is that these minivans get pretty crowded, and tickets sell out very quickly. 

Be sure to check the minivan schedule as the number of buses reduces significantly during the off-season.

Regardless of how you choose to get there, Koh Lanta is an incredible part of Thailand. Whether you are relaxing on the beach or exploring the exotic caves, you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic time on this slice of Thai paradise.
