Krabi to Koh Lanta — Andaman Island Crossing.
A two-day Andaman escape combining Krabi's karst country with the laid-back length of Koh Lanta. Day one rolls past the limestone cliffs of Ao Nang, south through oil-palm and rubber plantations, then onto the short car ferry and across the Siri Lanta Bridge to the island, ending among the century-old stilt shophouses of Lanta Old Town. Day two explores the island's south — Kantiang Bay and the lighthouse at Mu Ko Lanta National Park — before the beach road carries you back to Saladan for the ferry home. Best November–April; the national park road is steep and broken in places.

A suggested split across 2 days with 8 waypoints to discover along the way.
Krabi TownStart · Start in Krabi Town beneath the twin karst towers of Khao Khanap Nam. Fuel up and grab breakfast at the riverside morning market before heading west.
Ao NangScenic Point · Short detour for the classic Andaman limestone coastline — the Railay headland rises offshore to the south. Touristy, but the cliff backdrop is worth 30 minutes.
Khlong ThomRestaurant · Lunch in Khlong Thom on Highway 4. From here Route 4206 drops south through oil-palm and rubber country to the Lanta ferry pier.
Saladan Pier — Ko LantaFerry · Cross on the short car ferry from Hua Hin Pier to Ko Lanta Noi, then ride the Siri Lanta Bridge onto Lanta Yai — you roll off at Saladan, the island's pier town.
Lanta Old TownOvernight · Overnight in Lanta Old Town on the east coast — century-old teak shophouses on stilts over the sea, built by Chinese and Urak Lawoi traders. Seafood dinner on a pier deck.
Kantiang BayScenic Point · Lanta's prettiest sweep of sand, backed by jungle hills. The road south of here is steep with broken patches — relaxed pace, eyes up.
Mu Ko Lanta LighthousePhoto Spot · The white lighthouse on the cliff at the national park headquarters is the island's money shot. Watch the resident macaques around parked bikes — they will open luggage.
Saladan PierEnd · Ride the west-coast beach road back north to Saladan. Ferries to the mainland run until early evening — allow buffer in high season.
