🚢 Koh Lanta International Moving Company

A car ferry, a bridge, and sand lanes on Lanta Yai: using an overseas moving company for Koh Lanta

Koh Lanta is a quiet Andaman island in Krabi province with a settled community of remote workers and long stay residents. Getting goods there means a road leg, a car ferry and a bridge.

Shipments land at Laem Chabang and clear Thai customs there. The road leg is roughly 1000 kilometres, about fourteen hours plus a ferry. The ferry timetable, not the road distance, is what sets the delivery day here. Movers book the crossing before they confirm a date.

👥 Who this route actually serves

Who makes this move, and with what

Lanta has a settled community of remote workers, small guesthouse owners and long stay families, many of whom have children in the local international school. Shipments here are modest by island standards: people build around what the island can supply rather than importing an entire house.

Picking your month

Everything here follows the ferry, and the ferry follows the season. May to October brings rough Andaman weather that can suspend crossings at short notice, so a delivery date in those months is always provisional. November to April is straightforward.

Worth knowing: Most homes are bungalows and small villas. Areas covered: Saladan, Klong Dao, Long Beach, Klong Nin and Old Town.
Property access

Access, lifts and lanes

A car ferry crosses to Koh Lanta Noi, then a bridge carries you to Koh Lanta Yai where nearly all homes are. The ferry has a weight limit, so a full container is usually broken down and moved across in a smaller vehicle. Beach lane approaches are sand in places.

Areas the movers cover here: Saladan, Klong Dao, Long Beach, Klong Nin and Old Town. Packing and storage are not included in the freight price. Both are available at either end and both are quoted separately.

Useful to know up front: where we collect from, where it goes, the building type and floor, whether a lift booking or a shuttle is needed, and your rough timing.

🇹🇭 The Thai spelling

How Koh Lanta is written on a Thai delivery note

Your destination is เกาะลันตา, romanised as Ko Lanta. Koh and Ko both mean island. Official Thai romanisation uses Ko.

On the label: put the Thai script underneath the English address. The crew loading in the UK read the English. The driver delivering in Koh Lanta reads the Thai.

Before you enquire

The things people ask first

How long does a move to Koh Lanta take, and which port do the goods land at?

Goods arrive at Laem Chabang and travel on by road, roughly 1000 kilometres, about fourteen hours plus a ferry. Sea transit runs about six to twelve weeks door to door before that road leg starts.

What access will the crew find at a Koh Lanta address?

A car ferry crosses to Koh Lanta Noi, then a bridge carries you to Koh Lanta Yai where nearly all homes are. The ferry has a weight limit, so a full container is usually broken down and moved across in a smaller vehicle. Beach lane approaches are sand in places.

What sort of move is this usually?

Lanta has a settled community of remote workers, small guesthouse owners and long stay families, many of whom have children in the local international school. Shipments here are modest by island standards: people build around what the island can supply rather than importing an entire house.

When is the best time of year to arrange delivery to Koh Lanta?

Everything here follows the ferry, and the ferry follows the season. May to October brings rough Andaman weather that can suspend crossings at short notice, so a delivery date in those months is always provisional. November to April is straightforward.

Which areas around Koh Lanta do you cover?

Saladan, Klong Dao, Long Beach, Klong Nin and Old Town. Addresses outside those are still collected: the firm delivers across the province and smaller places are served off the nearest run. Most homes are bungalows and small villas.

We are not a removal company. Tell us what you are sending and where it is going, and one vetted moving company from the AGM Group network, agm.group, takes it from there. Their movers and packers survey the house, wrap the goods and load the container, and the same firm handles the relocation paperwork and the clearance in Thailand. That company holds FIDI FAIM certification. One firm, one quote, one point of contact, from the UK collection through to the shipping and the delivery.
