Chaokoh Ferry from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi
Chaokoh Ferry from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi

Chaokoh Travel operates three basic ferries with a shop, a toilet, indoor seating and travel at a cruising speed of between 13 and 15 knots. This a budget option. By contrast S.P.S.B.C (Satun Pakbara Speedboat Club) operates a speed boat service on the route from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi. S.P.S.B.C speed boats are a lot faster than Chaokoh Travel ferries. Pakbara S.P.C speed boats have a cruising of 25 to 30 knots effectively cutting the journey time by half compared to travelling by passenger ferry. The major downside of travelling by speed boat from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi is that the seat are very close together and this makes it unsuitable for younger children whom you may have difficult keeping still for 30 minutes. The advantage of travelling by the Chaokoh passenger ferry is that you can move around more and there are both indoor and outdoor areas.
