If you’re traveling from Krabi International Airport (KBV) to the beautiful islands of Koh Lanta, you have four main transportation options to choose from to help you reach your final destination.
The quickest and easiest way to cover the Krabi Airport to Koh Lanta distance of 75 kilometers, is to take a Krabi Airport taxi or a pre-booked Krabi Airport transfer. Both options offer a direct and door-to-door service, but with the private transfer, you’ll also receive a fixed fare upfront and an English-speaking driver.
If you prefer to manage your trip on your own, you can choose to take the shuttle bus from the airport to one of the piers offering a ferry or speed boat service across to the island. This option takes around 3 hours and prices can vary depending on which boat transfer you opt for.
Lastly, the cheapest option is to take a minivan directly from the airport. The journey by minivan is also the slowest way to travel, taking an average of 3 to 4 hours, if not more. However, all travel arrangements will be made for you so you won’t need to worry about missing the ferry.
*Note that if you choose to take a taxi or minivan, you will need to take the car ferry across from Krabi Town to Koh Lanta Noi, then drive across the island, and take the bridge from there to Koh Lanta Yai.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Krabi at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
