Seatran Ferry Surat Thani to Koh Samui

Seatran Ferry Surat Thani to Koh Samui is one of the most popular ways to travel between the two islands. The journey takes around two hours and can be a great way to see some of the amazing scenery that Thailand has to offer. The ferry leaves from Donsak Pier in Surat Thani and arrives at Nathon Pier on Koh Samui.

What’s more, Seatran Ferry offers a comfortable and convenient travel experience, with spacious seating and plenty of room for luggage. In addition to a large outdoor seating area, there is an area equipped with air-conditioning and large windows, so you can enjoy the views of the Gulf of Thailand in comfort.

The 80 kilometer (50 mile) ferry journey from Suratthani to Koh Samui takes around two hours and 30 minutes.

Ferries vary in size from smaller high-speed ferry services, suitable for 200 people, to larger vehicle ferries; just remember: the larger the ferry, the smoother the crossing. All the ferries leave Suratthani, on the Thai mainland, from Donsak Pier and will head to one of four different piers on Koh Samui. If you’re traveling in peak season you can expect to find ferries packed full of passengers, so it’s definitely a good idea to book your tickets in advance to avoid a time consuming wait.

All ferries departing Suratthani for Koh Samui have air conditioning as well as outside seating. There are usually two passenger decks that feature basic food and drink kiosks, television areas and public bathrooms. The ride itself will be fairly comfortable and offers a good opportunity to get ready for your island adventures by chatting to fellow travelers or practicing your Thai on friendly local passengers.
