From all of the islands in the Andaman Sea there is a network of ferries operating between the different islands. In most cases, these are wooden vessels of varying sizes, depending on the popularity of the route.

The ferry from Ko Phi Phi to Ko Lanta is one of the smaller ferries, as this route is not nearly as busy as some, such as Phi Phi to Phuket. All the ferry journeys seam to be similar in costs, between 400 and 600 baht, depending on the distance.

The Phi Phi to Lanta ferry was 400 baht each, and was quite a comfortable ferry. Single level, and all below deck, witch luggage stored on the top. Seats were all quite comfortable soft bucket types, and seated probably about 100 if necessary. Interestingly, many touts from accommodation on Ko Lanta ride the journey, promoting their rooms. This was actually quite useful as they were not too pushy, and appeared to offer good quality accom, at a much cheaper price than Ko Phi Phi!

Journey only took about 1.5 hours, and arrived at Lanta port town of Ban Sala Dan on the north end of the island, where transport to the beaches can be easily arranged. Incidentally, we got mobile coverage all the way between Ko Phi Phi and Ko Lanta!
