Known for its perfect strips of sand, crystal clear waters, and coral reef gardens, Koh Lanta is everything you might have dreamed of for your ideal beach destination. Spend the day (or your entire vacation even) lazing on the island’s beautiful beaches - take your pick from Bamboo Bay, Kantiang Bay, or Waterfall Bay. Rent a kayak and explore the nearby islands and caves.
Dive in to discover a colorful underwater world at Koh Rok. If you want a break from the water activities, then hire a moped and explore the island or walk around Koh Lanta’s Old Town. The best way to recover from all these activities? With a rejuvenating seaside Thai massage, of course, followed by a drink or two at Long Beach. Unforgettable sunsets are on the house!
It’s tough to not feel the electrifying vibe of buzzing Bangkok. A mix of the ancient and the modern, Bangkok has something for every kind of traveler. The city’s most important spiritual monuments are the Wat Pho, home to the impressive Reclining Buddha, and the stunning Wat Arun.
The Grand Palace and the Bangkok Museum are also worth visiting, especially if you love art and history. Bangkok is a haven for lovers of street food. You will find local specialties on every corner. One trip to Bangkok, and you might think that the phrase ‘Shop till you drop’ was coined just for the city.
The weekend Chatuchak Market has thousands of stalls and is THE place to visit to pick up souvenirs, antiques, home furnishings, and so much more. Give your legs a break as you sign up for a boat ride that takes you down the Chao Phraya River and allows you to appreciate the beauty of this city from the water.
Get away from the traffic and chaos at Lumpini Park, the city’s lungs, and later on, pamper yourself with a soothing Thai massage. End your day (or start your night!) with some eating, drinking, and partying at the city’s many hip restaurants and bars.
To cover the 435 mile (approximately 700 km) distance from Koh Lanta to Bangkok, travelers can take a bus ferry combination. The journey takes around 15 hours, and with ticket prices starting from $34 per passenger, it is one of the most budget-friendly options available.
Passengers board a ferry at Saladan Pier in Koh Lanta and then transfer to a bus or minivan to travel the land part of the journey. The ferries and buses have air conditioning, and since the buses have cushioned and reclining seats, passengers can try to get some sleep during the second leg of the journey.
As the ferry leaves Saladan Pier in Koh Lanta, you will get to see, once again, the gorgeous blues and greens of the waters that surround the island. The bus or minivan journey takes you through Thailand’s smaller towns and villages, but it might be best to rest or catch up on your sleep, given the long duration of the journey.
Taking a bus/ferry
Travelers looking to travel from Koh Lanta can take a bus/ferry combination to get to Bangkok with a ferry picking up passengers at the Saladan Pier in Koh Lanta and a bus transfer later in the journey.

Travel times are around 15 hours. The ferries and buses are air-conditioned, with the latter having cushioned, reclining seats that allow you to catch a few winks.
