Departing Koh Samui
Arriving Surat Thani
Leaving Koh Samui by sea is how the journey begins — our services depart from Bangrak Pier, Mae Nam Pier, and Nathon Pier depending on which package you choose. Once across the Gulf of Thailand, we transfer you to your chosen point in Surat Thani: the city centre, Lomprayah Tapee Pier, Surat Thani Train Station, or the airport — so your onward connection is covered in a single booking.
What to expect on the crossing
The ferry leg across the Gulf is generally calm in the dry season, roughly November through April, and the full transfer runs around 90 minutes on the quickest option. We run services throughout the day with roughly 70 departures across all operators, starting as early as 04:00, giving you real flexibility whether you're catching a morning train north or an afternoon flight.
Fares start from THB 408. Pack light for the boat leg and keep your onward ticket details handy — our staff at the pier will direct you to the right connection when you arrive in Surat Thani.
