About This Route

The Krabi to Koh Samui route takes you from the stunning Andaman Coast — famous for Railay Beach, Ao Nang, and the Four Islands — across southern Thailand to the Gulf's premier island destination. The journey takes approximately 5 hours. Lomprayah operates a comfortable bus+ferry combo that picks you up from Krabi Town or Ao Nang area, drives through scenic southern Thailand to Donsak Pier (about 3 hours), then boards a high-speed catamaran to Koh Samui's Nathon Pier (about 1.5–2 hours). This is a popular route for travelers completing a southern Thailand circuit: Bangkok → Krabi/Railay → Koh Samui → Koh Phangan → Koh Tao → Chumphon → Bangkok.
