How to get from Koh Lanta to Langkawi
Koh Lanta to Langkawi Ferry: Route Overview
Traveling from Koh Lanta to Langkawi links two of the Andaman Sea's best-known islands, connecting Koh Lanta directly with Langkawi. This crossing is popular with travelers moving between Thailand and Malaysia without flying, combining ferry and speedboat legs into a single, bookable journey.
This route operates seasonally, running from January to May and November to December. Outside these months the crossing does not run, so if you're searching for departures at another time of year, check the booking panel above for the next available date within the operating season rather than expecting a booking to appear out of season.
Operators and Journey Duration
The route is served by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club, operating ferry and speed boat equipped with onboard facilities between the two islands. The crossing takes approximately the scheduled journey time, though actual times can shift slightly with sea conditions, so it's worth allowing extra time either side of your booking, especially if you have onward connections.
Schedule and Frequency
Departures run 1 during the January to May and November to December season. Exact departure times vary by day and operator, so use the live schedule shown when you search rather than assuming a fixed timetable — this keeps you booked onto a sailing that's actually running.
Prices and Booking
Fares on the Koh Lanta to Langkawi route start from ฿2,945 per person, one way. Prices vary depending on the operator, vessel type, and how far in advance you book. Booking ahead is worthwhile during peak periods within the January to May and November to December season, when seats on the more direct crossings sell out first.

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.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
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.

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.
