Fast boat route

Chumphon to Koh Samui Ferry

A genuine through-route on Lomprayah's own timetable, not just a connection via Koh Tao. Two direct catamarans run to Pralarn Pier, at 07:00 (about 4 hours 30 minutes) and 13:15 (about 4 hours 15 minutes). A cheaper 05:45 "Ferry" fare goes to Bangrak Pier instead and is marked as changing boats at Koh Tao, taking about 5 hours 30 minutes. Nathon Pier, sometimes assumed to serve this route, does not appear as a Chumphon destination on the operator's own timetable.

Chumphon → Koh Samui about 4 hours 15 min to 4 hours 30 min direct to Pralarn Pier by catamaran, about 5h30m to Bangrak Pier changing boats at Koh Tao
