Piers on this route

Ferry to Surat Thani

Bangkok and Surat Thani sit roughly 685 km apart, and we offer several ways to cover the distance. The quickest way is by air, with flights that put you in Surat Thani in around 75 minutes from Bangkok. For those who prefer a surface journey, overnight buses and trains leave from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal and Hua Lamphong (and the Rambuttri Road / Khao San Road area for buses) and arrive in Surat Thani in time for onward island connections.

Arriving in Surat Thani

Depending on which service you take, you'll arrive at Surat Thani Train Station, Suratthani City, Lomprayah Tapee Pier, or the airport — each positioned for convenient onward travel to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, or Koh Tao. With around 67 departures a day across all options, you'll find something that fits, whether you're travelling by day or overnight.

Fares start from THB 266. If you're island-hopping from Bangkok, the overnight bus or train is a classic choice — you sleep the distance and wake up ready for the boat.
