Transport types explained

Bus
Coach leg by road, used when part of the trip runs overland.
Charter
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).
Train
Train leg on longer overland connections.
Van
Minivan transfer — often the hotel or town pick-up leg of a combined ticket.

Ferry to Surat Thani

The journey begins with a ferry departure from Thong Sala Pier, Koh Phangan's main passenger terminal on the south of the island. On the Surat Thani side, we reach several drop points including Surat Thani city centre, the train station, and the airport — useful if you're catching a connection onward. The quickest combined crossing takes around 115 minutes, with fares from THB 597.

Connections and timing

Several operators cover this route using different combinations of ferry and transfer vehicle, including bus, van, and train connections from the mainland pier. With up to 16 departures a day from early morning, you can time your departure to connect with trains or flights at Surat Thani without a long wait.

Morning sailings tend to be the most popular — the 08:00 to 09:45 window gets you to Surat Thani city in the late morning, ideal for onward connections. The ferry section is calmest during the dry season (November to April), though departures run year-round.
