@ Bangkok
Ko Lanta is about 1000 kilometres from Bangkok , and can be reached by plane, train or overnight Air-con bus.
If you're flying into Bangkok try to get a connecting flight to Krabi, the closest airport to Ko Lanta. Second choice is Trang and third choice is Phuket.
If you want to travel by train you can buy a ticket to Trang Province only. From Trang you can take an Air-con minivan to Ko Lanta from the tour agent opposite the train station.
Alternatively, you can take the overnight 24-seat Air-con bus direct to Krabi. The bus departs from Bangkok around 17:00 and arrives to Krabi at 05:30. There are no facilities to book tickets in advance, just go to the Southern Bus Station (Sai Tai) on the outskirts of Bangkok.
From Krabi you can take ferry to Ko Lanta. Bear in mind that you will get to Krabi in the early hours of the morning at 05:30, but the first ferry is not scheduled to leave until 10:30, meaning a wait of several hours. The ferry run only mid October until to April every year. Out of this period, minibuses take over public transportation between Krabi and Ko Lanta.
If your flight lands at Phuket, the only way to Ko Lanta is by ferry, usually via Ko Phi Phi. Please remember that only the morning ferry can reach Ko Lanta that same day, and that the afternoon ferry stays on Ko Phi Phi over night.
