How to get from Koh Lanta to Koh Kradan
Koh Lanta to Koh Kradan: ferry and speedboat crossing
Koh Kradan is a small island in the Trang archipelago, known for a narrow strip of white sand and clear shallow water on its west side. There is no direct road or bridge, so the only way to reach it from Koh Lanta is by boat, and most travellers connect through a mainland or island pier rather than boarding directly at Koh Lanta. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, run by several operators aboard a ferry and speed boat.
Departure and arrival points
Boats to Koh Kradan typically depart from piers on Koh Lanta and, depending on the operator and season, may route via Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, or the Trang mainland (Pak Meng or Kuan Tung Ku pier) before continuing to Koh Kradan. Since Koh Kradan has no deep-water pier, arriving boats usually anchor offshore and transfer passengers to the beach by long-tail boat. Always confirm your exact departure pier when booking, as it can vary by company and time of year.
Operators and onboard facilities
several operators operates this route, and travellers connecting from Krabi or Trang can also find speedboat services covering the same waters as part of a combined ticket. Onboard facilities generally include onboard facilities, though smaller long-tail transfers near Koh Kradan itself are more basic. If you are travelling from Krabi town or Trang, ask about combination tickets that bundle the mainland-to-Koh Lanta leg with the onward hop to Koh Kradan, since booking both legs together is usually simpler than arranging them separately.
Schedule, frequency, and season
There are 4 scheduled per day on this route, and services run during all year round. Outside this window, sea conditions and reduced demand mean crossings can be limited or suspended, so check current sailing dates before planning a trip in the shoulder season. Frequency and timing can change with weather, so build in a buffer if you have a onward connection the same day.
Prices and booking
Fares for the Koh Lanta to Koh Kradan crossing start from ฿700, though the exact price depends on the operator, boat type, and whether the ticket includes a mainland transfer. Booking in advance is recommended in high season, when seats on the smaller boats serving Koh Kradan fill up quickly. Use the search above to compare available departures, confirm the current schedule, and secure your ticket for the Koh Lanta to Koh Kradan route.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
