How to get from Koh Lanta to Koh Bulon
Koh Lanta to Koh Bulon: Speedboat Route
Traveling from Koh Lanta to Koh Bulon takes you from Koh Lanta's lively piers to the quiet, reef-fringed shores of Koh Bulon Lae, a small island in the Andaman Sea known for calm bays and a slower pace than its better-known neighbours. The crossing is made by speed boat, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club.
This route runs seasonally
Direct boats between Koh Lanta and Koh Bulon operate only during January to April and October to December, when sea conditions in this part of the Andaman are calmer. Outside these months the booking engine on this page may show no available departures — that is expected, not an error. If you are traveling outside the operating season, check the Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe ferry schedule for a year-round alternative, or come back closer to your travel date to see if departures have reopened.
Journey time, price, and departures
The crossing takes the scheduled journey time, with fares starting from ฿1,550 per person. 1 run on this route when it is in season; exact departure times can shift with weather and operator, so always confirm the timetable shown at checkout before finalizing your plans.
Onboard and what to expect
onboard facilities are available on the speed boat used on this route. Luggage space is limited on smaller speedboats, so keep hold bags to a manageable size and hand-carry anything valuable or fragile. Booking ahead is recommended in peak season, since seats on this route can sell out on popular travel dates.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from Koh Lanta's main pier and arrive directly at Koh Bulon, with no transfer required in between. Staff at both piers can help with onward transport to your accommodation, so check with your hotel in advance if a pickup is included.
Book your Koh Lanta to Koh Bulon crossing
Once you've confirmed your travel dates fall within January to April and October to December, you can check live availability and reserve your seat directly through the booking form on this page. If you're planning the return leg, the Koh Bulon to Koh Lanta ferry schedule covers the journey back, including the same seasonal operating window.
Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
