Transport types explained
- Avia
- Short flight leg on the longest connections.
- 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).
- Van
- Minivan transfer — often the hotel or town pick-up leg of a combined ticket.

Piers on this route
Departing Koh Samui
Arriving Phuket
The route starts with a ferry departure from one of Samui's three piers: Nathon Pier on the west coast, Mae Nam Pier in the north, or Bangrak Pier near Bophut. From the mainland ferry terminal the journey continues overland or by air to Phuket. The quickest combined options take around 60 minutes by air, while bus and van packages are the economical choice for travellers with time to spare.
Arriving in Phuket
Phuket services arrive at Rassada Pier and Chalong Pier for sea-leg arrivals, or at Phuket International Airport for flights. Onward transfers connect to hotel zones across the island. With 20 operators covering this corridor and departures spread across the day from midnight onward, you can plan an arrival that fits your Phuket accommodation check-in.
Fares start from THB 750 for the most affordable combined packages. Book in advance during the November-to-April high season, when both Samui and Phuket are at their busiest and seats on the popular morning departures fill quickly.
