Koh Tao to Koh Phangan Ferry

This is the busiest island-to-island hop in the Gulf and it fills up around the Full Moon Party dates. Lomprayah's own timetable lists six sailings a day on three vessel types: a 07:05 speed boat taking about 45 minutes, catamarans around 09:15-09:30 taking 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, and a 16:30 ferry taking about 1 hour 40 minutes, the slowest of the three. Boats arrive at Thong Sala, the main pier on Koh Phangan.

Vessel type changes the crossing time by close to an hour on this leg. Check whether your ticket is for the speed boat, catamaran or ferry rather than assuming the fastest option.

FAQs

Koh Tao to Koh Phangan ferry questions

Thong Sala, the island's main pier, takes most of the island and mainland sailings.
It depends on the vessel. Lomprayah's own timetable shows about 45 minutes on its fastest speed boat, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes on its catamarans, and about 1 hour 40 minutes on its slower ferry. Check which one is on your ticket before planning a tight connection.
Yes. Sailings around those dates fill up well in advance in both directions. If your travel date is fixed, book it rather than turning up at the pier.
