Transport types explained

- Speedboat or charter — the fastest crossing, with fewer seats and a higher fare than the ferry.
- Ferry
- Larger boat, lowest fares and the steadiest ride — slower, but takes the most passengers (often vehicles too).
- Van
- Minivan transfer — often the hotel or town pick-up leg of a combined ticket.

Departing Koh Phangan
Arriving Chumphon
The journey from Koh Phangan to Chumphon is a combined transfer — a ferry from Thong Sala Pier, the island's main terminal on the south coast, followed by a connection by van or charter across to Chumphon on the mainland. Chumphon is the gateway to the lower Gulf islands and a key junction for the national rail network heading north.
Where you arrive in Chumphon
We deliver passengers to multiple points in and around Chumphon, including Tha Yang Pier, Thung Makham Noi Pier, the city bus terminal, and Chumphon Train Station. The train station drop is most popular with travellers continuing to Bangkok or Chiang Mai, particularly on the overnight service.
Morning departures leave Thong Sala at 07:15, 08:30, and 08:45 — the early options suit anyone catching a daytime train north. Fares start from THB 1,106. The Gulf is at its calmest between November and April; if you're crossing in the wet season, expect some swell on the ferry leg.
