The high season extends between November and April and is when ferries run most frequently. If you are planning to travel during these months, we recommend booking at least 3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred travel time and date, and dependable connections from Phuket, Krabi, and Phi Phi.

In the low season (June-September), many routes suspend or heavily reduce service; make sure to stay updated on weather conditions and ferry company announcements.

Tips and advice for your trip to Koh Lan
- The local currency in Koh Lanta is the Thai Baht (THB). While some places accept cards, we recommend carrying cash as most ferry terminals, small shops, and transfer services on the island operate in cash only.
- Before your trip, it’s advisable to monitor weather forecasts, particularly during the monsoon season (June-September), as choppy conditions can affect ferry departures.
- We recommend arriving in Saladan pier at least 30-40 minutes before your scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth check-in process. Especially in high season, traffic and queues can build quickly.
