About This Route

The Koh Phangan to Koh Samui ferry is the return leg of the most popular inter-island route in the Gulf of Thailand. Whether you're heading back after the Full Moon Party or transferring to Samui Airport for your flight, this crossing operates with high frequency all day long. High-speed catamarans by Lomprayah and Seatran Discovery complete the crossing in just 30 minutes, while Raja Ferry's conventional car ferry takes 45–60 minutes but allows you to bring your vehicle. All services depart from Thong Sala Pier and arrive at Nathon Pier on Samui. The first ferries depart as early as 6:00 AM, with the last services around 6:00–7:00 PM. During peak season and party weekends, additional late-night services may be added.
