The ferry cost us 400 baht each and we bought tickets on the
Koh Phi Phi from near the pier, lots of people were selling boat tickets! We
turned up at the pier half an hour before our boat was due to depart at
11.30am. We boarded the ferry no problem and picked a seat downstairs near some
fans as it was pretty warm. Fortunately, the boat wasn’t too busy so it didn’t
get too hot and stuffy downstairs. I can imagine in peak season it could be much
worse without air conditioning, my advice would be to just turn up early to get
a seat with a fan pointing on it!
The ferry only took around an hour and the journey was quite
smooth, whilst on the boat you have someone going around selling taxi/minibus
tickets for when you arrive on Koh Lanta. We had read beforehand that it was
easy to get a taxi (tuk tuk) when you arrive at Saladan Pier on Koh Lanta.
When we arrived on Koh Lanta, lots of people were offering
taxi services and we opted for a pickup truck that cost 150 baht for two of us.
They initially wanted 100 baht each but we managed to get them down on this, I
have been told that it can be as cheap as 50 baht each but it does depend on your
destination. We were heading to Good Days Lanta Beach Resort on Long Beach. I highly
recommend these beachside bungalows (fan) that only cost £12 a night in low
season!
