About this tour
When Alex from our BugBitten team needed to get from Aonang to Koh Lanta, we booked this private transfer through Anaphat Transport. It's a straightforward point-to-point service covering the coastal road between two popular Krabi bases — the first a beach resort strip, the second a quieter island escape. The operator runs modern cars, SUVs, and vans depending on group size, handles hotel pickups at most properties, and keeps things reliable rather than fancy. No frills, just reliable wheels.
Highlights
- Door-to-door convenience — collected from Aonang hotel, dropped Koh Lanta side.
- Fleet choice: cars for solo travellers, vans for groups or families.
- Modern vehicles kept clean and maintained to decent standard.
- Infant seats available if travelling with small children.
- No middle-person hassle — direct booking with the operator.
- Covers the scenic coastal route at your own pace.
- Works for any fitness level — you're sitting the whole way.
What to expect
Alex arranged pickup from the Aonang hotel, and the driver arrived on time in a clean vehicle. The drive to Koh Lanta is a straightforward coastal route — about 90 minutes depending on traffic and road works, which aren't uncommon in Krabi. You'll pass through small towns and mangrove areas before crossing to the island. The journey itself is uneventful in a good way: no dramatic climbs, no rough tracks, just reliable tarmac. The driver can usually adjust timing if you need a stop for photos or a loo break, though this isn't a sightseeing tour — it's transport with a seat.
The vehicle is comfortable enough for the distance. Air-con works, suspension's decent, and there's room for luggage. If you're booking as a couple or small family, a standard car is fine; groups or anyone with bags worth protecting should consider the van. Hotels on both ends honour pickups, though some smaller guesthouses may ask you to meet the driver at the main road.

Good to know
This beats local taxis for reliability and price transparency — you know what you're paying upfront. Families appreciate the infant seat option and straightforward booking. It's the sensible choice if you've got luggage, kids, or just want to arrive without haggling over fares. The driver is usually courteous and knows the route cold.
It's a transfer, not a tour — there's no running commentary or stops at scenic lookouts unless you ask (and pay extra, if they agree). The road can be slow during high season when tour buses queue up. Not all Aonang hotels are on the pickup list, so check yours is included. The vehicle won't be luxury-grade — think practical family car, not resort shuttle. Food and drinks aren't included, so bring your own if the journey's long for your stomach.
Solo to four-person groups use standard cars; families or five-plus book the van. Trip takes roughly 90 minutes to two hours. Bring water, phone chargers if it's a long haul. Luggage allowance is decent but not unlimited. Peak season (November–February) means slower traffic; book early if travelling then.
