Ao Nam Mao Pier: Boats Between Ao Nang and Koh Lanta
Ao Nam Mao Pier (also spelled Ao Nammao, and known in Thai as อ่าวน้ำเมา) is the working boat pier south of Ao Nang used for speedboat and long-tail transfers to Koh Lanta. It is a separate landing point from ท่าเรืออ่าวนาง (Ao Nang Pier) in the town centre, so it's worth confirming which pier your ticket departs from before you travel.
Distance and Transfer Time from Ao Nang to Ao Nam Mao Pier
Ao Nam Mao Pier sits a short drive from central Ao Nang, along the coast road toward Nopparat Thara. Most Koh Lanta boat tickets booked from Ao Nang include a shared minivan transfer from your hotel to the pier, so you don't need to arrange a taxi separately. Your exact pickup time and transfer duration are confirmed when you book, since they depend on which hotel or area of Ao Nang you're staying in.
Today's Schedules and Prices from Ao Nam Mao Pier

Operators Serving Ao Nam Mao Pier
Several operators run boats from Ao Nam Mao Pier, including Lomprayah, which operates speedboat services on the Ao Nang–Koh Lanta route. Compare each operator's current departure times, boat type, and price on the search above before booking, rather than choosing by name alone — the fastest or best-value option can vary by day and season.
What to Expect at the Pier
Ao Nam Mao is a functional transfer pier rather than a beach destination — most travellers pass through for a few minutes between their minivan transfer and boat boarding. Arrive at the time stated on your ticket, as boats depart on the operator's schedule rather than waiting for latecomers.
Continuing Your Trip
From Ao Nam Mao Pier, most boats head to Koh Lanta ferry and speedboat routes. If you're starting your journey elsewhere in Krabi, see boat piers and routes from Krabi Town or the full Ao Nang ferry and speedboat guide for other islands reachable from this coast.

Vehicles
Private Transfer by Pickup Truck to Green Planet
A Green Planet pickup truck transfer is a straightforward way to reach this destination without relying on fixed public schedules. It suits travelers who want a direct, door-to-door journey and prefer a vehicle built for comfort on both paved roads and rougher terrain.
What to Expect from This Transfer
This service is arranged as a private transfer, meaning the vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group rather than shared with other passengers. Pickup and drop-off locations, along with exact timing, are confirmed at the time of booking based on availability.
Why Choose a Pickup Truck for This Route
A pickup truck offers a practical option when a route includes unpaved sections, luggage that needs extra space, or a group traveling with equipment such as diving or outdoor gear. It is a flexible alternative to standard sedans or minivans, particularly for travelers heading to or from coastal and natural sites.
Booking Conditions and Luggage
Passenger capacity and luggage allowance depend on the specific vehicle assigned, so check these details on the booking page before confirming. As with other private transfers on this site, review the cancellation and change policy shown at checkout, since terms can vary by provider.

Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. Shared Minivan: An Affordable Way to Travel
The Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. shared minivan is a join-in transfer service, meaning your seat is shared with other travelers heading in the same direction rather than booking the whole vehicle privately. It's a practical, budget-friendly option for getting between airports, bus stations, piers, and hotels in the Surat Thani, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan area.
How the shared minivan service works
With a shared minivan, you reserve an individual seat rather than the entire vehicle. Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. groups passengers travelling the same route together, which keeps the fare lower than a private transfer while still getting you door-to-door or point-to-point without the wait times of a public bus.
Where Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. operates
Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. is an established Thai transport operator with offices in Surat Thani town and at the Surat Thani train station, and it is well known for connecting travelers across the Gulf of Thailand islands. Its shared minivan often forms part of a combined bus-and-ferry journey, linking overland transfers with onward boat crossings such as those operated by Lomprayah, Seatran Ferry, Raja Ferry, Andaman Wave Master, and Samui Seaway.
If your trip includes a ferry leg to or from Koh Phangan, you can check the Surat Thani Airport to Koh Phangan route for combined transfer and ferry options.
Booking your Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd. shared minivan seat
Exact pickup points, departure times, and fares depend on the specific route and travel date, so always check the details shown for your chosen journey before confirming. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during high season, since shared minivan seats on popular routes can fill up quickly.
