Koh Lanta: a long sand beach, casuarina trees, a white passenger ferry approaching across the Andaman Sea

Koh Lanta from Phuket: the ferry to stay overnight

This is a crossing with a suitcase – not a snorkel day trip that returns to Phuket the same night. Departure at Rassada Harbour, arrival on Koh Lanta after about 4 hours 15 minutes, from ฿1,100. If you want Rok and Haa in one day and sleep in Patong, book the Koh Rok page.

You stay on Lanta – this ferry will not bring you back to Phuket that evening. Check-in is at Rassada Harbour; hotel pickup in the usual zones is often included, and 20 kg of luggage goes free. The island has long beaches and a calmer pace than Patong – that starts after you land, not on the ticket.

Koh Rok and Koh Haa lie off Lanta in the national park. The snorkel day tour from Phuket lives on the Koh Rok page. And the Phi Phi ferry with bags to Tonsai sits under Phi Phi.

The ferry through the year

November–April

Steadier sea; morning sailings often sell out. Grab the early slot.

May–October

Delays and cancellations are realistic. Reschedule before departure, don’t argue at the pier.

A ticket, not a day tour

Many ferry tickets are non-refundable; the date can usually be changed before departure. Book after 20:00 for the next morning and you often lose the hotel pickup – go to Rassada yourself. Bring your passport or a copy. An island loop with lunch this is not.

Koh Lanta – short, honest answers

Day trip or overnight?

Overnight: you travel over with your bags. The Rok/Haa day tour returns to Phuket that evening.

From ฿1,100 for adults; children aged 4–10 often pay ฿800, under-4s are usually free. Hotels in remote zones can add a surcharge.

Usually Rassada Harbour in Phuket Town. A hotel transfer is included only if it is on the ticket.

Yes, and it’s shorter than from Phuket. This page sells the ride to Lanta – the park day from Lanta is booked locally.

Book it separately. An outbound ticket is not an open return.
