I arrive tomorrow in Phuket from BKK at 3:00pm. I had looked a bit quickly at the the Phuket and speedboat schedule and it looked like there were plenty of boats going to Saladan pier on Koh Lanta. I booked a hotel but it looks like the last boat out is at 3:00 from Rasada (Phuket). 

Any ideas on getting to Koh Lanta or am I doomed to cancel the hotel?

Thanks in advance on any thoughts you have.

 

You can take a taxi from the airport.  But it may cost you 5000THB.  Compare that to your 1 day hotel cancellation and the cost of staying a night in Phuket.  Do your Maths.

Damn, looks like a night in Phuket. I guess it's been pretty slow tourist wise so the prices look relatively cheap.

 

Anyone know of a quieter part of Phuket for a room. I'm not looking for anything fancy, but laid back would be nice.

 

As soon as you said laid back, Moonlight Cottage jumped into my mind.

 

Definitely laid back and about 15 minutes from the airport. I haven't stayed there but it looks like it fits the bill.

 

Make sure you have a good map to show the taxi driver.

macahoom - Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it.

Why not stay overnight in Phuket town?  Many cheapish hotels, restaurants and a short journey to the ferry in the morning.

More interesting than staying in a rubber tree plantation. 

Haha, yeah I think Ill skip the rubber tree plantation!!
I understand that Phuket town is quieter and it's good to know it's a short ride to the ferry. Much appreciated!!
