Check times & tickets Return journey
The crossing is short, so choose the pier that is easier to reach from your hotel. Bangrak has the most departures; Nathon had one boat a day. Two operators use piers at Bangrak, and Lomprayah also sails from Pralarn at Maenam, so check which pier your ticket names.
Ferry timetable and prices from Bangrak
For November 2026, Lomprayah boats left Bangrak Pier for Thong Sala at 08:00, 09:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:15, 12:30, 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 17:30, each taking 30 minutes. The departure list was the same on every date checked.
Lomprayah's own 2026 table, updated 25 August 2026, prices the Samui–Koh Phangan crossing at 350 THB by catamaran and 250 THB by ferry, with examples from its Pralarn pier at 08:00 (catamaran) and 11:00 (ferry). Online, most departures were 370 THB and the 12:15 was 264 THB, in line with the cheaper ferry fare. Boat-only prices do not include hotel pickup; that is sold separately.
Lomprayah asks passengers to check in at least 60 minutes before departure. The large-luggage allowance is 20 kg, with a 200 THB charge for extra weight. Tickets are non-refundable, and missed onward connections are not reimbursed.
Songserm from Nathon
Songserm's high-speed ferry left Nathon at 10:30, reaching Thong Sala at 11:20, for 215 THB, the lowest fare seen on the route, but it is a single daily departure.
Haad Rin and Full Moon nights
Thong Sala is the main arrival pier. Seatran's booking list includes Haad Rin Queen Pier on Koh Phangan and Full Moon Party speedboats, but no times or fares for them were published for the dates checked. Confirm the pier for both legs before buying. The Koh Phangan guide covers getting from Thong Sala to the beaches.
Koh Phangan back to Samui
From Thong Sala, Lomprayah sailed to Bangrak at 07:30, 10:45, 12:30, 13:40, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:05 and 18:00, all at 370 THB online. Lomlahkkhirin offered 10:45, 12:30 and 16:00, and Songserm left at 12:00 for Nathon, 1 hour, for 269 THB.
For Samui Airport or your hotel, allow for the road transfer after landing; the Koh Samui guide has the details. For Koh Tao, see Koh Tao to Koh Phangan, which covers both directions.
