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
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.
