Koh Phangan to Koh Samui Ferry

Koh Samui has more than one pier and the arrival pier matters more than the sailing time. Lomprayah's own timetable shows it actually serves all three, Pralarn, Nathon and Bangrak, not Pralarn alone, with well over a dozen sailings a day once all three are counted. Most crossings take about 30 minutes; the slowest option, an 18:30 ferry to Pralarn Pier, takes about an hour. Check which pier is on your ticket before you book a taxi.

FAQs

Koh Phangan to Koh Samui ferry questions

Check the ticket, because Koh Samui has more than one and they are on different sides of the island. Lomprayah's own timetable shows it runs from all three, Pralarn, Nathon and Bangrak, not just Pralarn, so this is genuinely worth confirming before booking a taxi.
Most sailings take about 25 to 30 minutes. The one exception on Lomprayah's own timetable is an 18:30 ferry to Pralarn Pier, which takes about an hour, so check the vessel type if you are catching the last one of the day.
