Saladan Pier
Description
Ferries to Krabi, Phi Phi and Phuket funnel through this compact Saladan arrival point, with van pickups, scooter rentals and island-hopping desks packed around the road. It is a transport hub, full stop, and it does that job well enough.
The public toilets are free, parking and pickup space are plentiful, and the covered areas help when the rain turns the ground into brown soup. Meeting a pre-booked transfer here is straightforward because the pier is small and nobody needs a search party.
Outside the ferry gate, the road fills quickly with tuk-tuks, taxis and rental offers. Arrange your hotel transfer before arrival, or walk into Saladan village and sort transport away from the dockside scrum. A scooter rental nearby is a practical answer for confident riders who want to head south on their own schedule.
Saladan Pier is not where Koh Lanta begins gracefully; it begins with engines, bags and an impressive number of vehicles occupying the same patch of tarmac. Keep luggage close in the crowd, especially while waiting for boats or transfers. The short walk into Saladan leads to restaurants, shops and quieter pickup points.
