Koh Lanta Port is situated on the tip of the most southern island of Koh Lanta, laying just off the southwest coast of Thailand. Koh Lanta is comprised of several smaller islands, only connected via the ferry routes operating between them. Ditching its previous tag as a quintessential party destination for backpackers and travellers, Koh Lanta is now regarded as a haven for the European middle class. Offering visitors the chance to dine in fine restaurants and reside in luxurious resorts, the atmosphere is much more serene than many of Thailand’s neighbouring islands and is generally a significantly older crowd than other tourist areas. The island is one of the largest in the group, stretching for 30 km in length and 6 km in width. It is covered by lush greenery, extravagant restaurants and nine stunning beaches, making it easy to see why it’s considered such an idyllic holiday location. The port is fairly easy to access, though it is sitting 6.5 km away from the nearest major town, meaning the best way to get there is by taxi. There are public minivans operating; they don’t stop at the port itself but can provide a cheap option to get in close proximity. For transport to and from the island, the ferry routes are the only option available. The crossing to Phuket is the most common, lasting for around two hours and typically running a couple of times a day. It is advised to check for live updates due to the erratic weather conditions; sometimes the crossing times can run less frequently in the rainy seasons.
Koh Phi Phi consists of six smaller islands, with the port located on the largest and only inhabited island of Ko Phi Phi Don. The island group, known as the Ko Phi Phi archipelago, forms part of Thailand and is renowned for being the home to an abundance of beautiful white sand beaches next to limestone cliffs. Some film fans may know some of the shores of the islands from the film ‘The Beach’. Unsurprisingly, the island group’s incredible aesthetics have prompted the tag ‘Darling of the Andaman Coast’ and has become a haven for travellers looking to explore the isles of exotic lands. Infamous for the all night parties filled with travellers and backpackers from all over the globe – those looking for a fun filled holiday ensure they head to Koh Phi Phi. The largest island of Koh Phi Phi Don is practically two islands joined together by a narrow stretch of land. The port is located at Ao Ton Sai which is found near the peninsula; it is littered with souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and is nearly always incredibly busy. This area of the island isn’t particularly picturesque, so visitors may be best served heading to the beautiful eastern coast as soon as they step off the boat. Crossings depart from the port several times per day, heading to the nearby islands and the Thailand mainland. Due to the close proximity of the islands, sailings are relatively short and cross rugged landscapes and endless seas making for a pleasant journey.
