Where Is Saladan Pier On Koh Lanta?
The ferry departs from Saladan pier in Saladan Village, this is the northern tip of Koh Lanta. Saladan has a small inlet of the sea which allows the ferries to conveniently dock. Saladan pier is quite small and there is nothing of interest on the actual pier. After you check in its a straight walkway of 30 metres to the boats.

Let your hotel receptionist know you want to go to Saladan pier and what time your boat departs – they will arrange a transfer for you.

Although the ferry transfer is the most popular way it is limited to only pick up and drop off each day. You would have to make your own way to the pier and to your Ao Nang hotel. The ferry can also be quite crowded in the Peak season. If you prefer a door to door service there are 3 other options to choose from too.

• Koh Lanta to Ao Nang Express Transfer
  The Express combines an open back car pick up to Saladan pier to connect with the 12:30 speedboat. The speedboat ride misses any queue time at the car ferry, a waiting minivan taxi to take you to your hotel. Only operates during high season: November to April.
• Koh Lanta to Ao Nang Private Taxi Transfer
  You choose any time that suits you best. A great option for families or groups of friends traveling together wanting more space to relax. Operates all year round.
• Koh Lanta to Ao Nang to Public Van
  This is a cheap option but it does have some drawbacks. They pack in customers and luggage which makes travelling very cramped and sometimes make stops along the way to drop off parcels. The drivers can sometimes go uncomfortably fast. Departs every hour from 06:00 to 15:00.
