While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.
Ferry trips offered by Bundhaya Speed Boat can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Bundhaya Speed Boat Popular Destinations
The most popular shipping routes covered by Bundhaya Speed Boat include but are not limited to:
High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.
Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons
Pros of Ferry Travel
Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!
Cons of Ferry Travel
The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.
Excellent service and a very pleasant experience. The entire ferry crew was kind, patient, and helpful, especially with our luggage throughout the journey. Everyone was professional and welcoming, and we truly felt well taken care of. Highly recommended!
Very organized. Took good care of my luggages. Rough ride because of the waves 😂. 1.5 hours is doable. Enough seats for a small speed boat. Experienced captain. Happy Travels
The ride was a lot smoother than other speed boats. I was a little worried bc I had such a bad experience with speed boat ferries in the past but this was great!
Very quick and efficient. Traveled on. Tuesday at 10am during rainy season. Seas were calm and there were only 7 passengers making for a very easy trip from Phuket to Ao Nang!

Excellent service (driver arrived early) and our transportation was bigger and more spacious than expected. Very clean and comfortable ride. We would definitely recommend and use again. Duncan, Sydney, Australia
It was very bust so it did get a bit chaotic and we were delayed by an hour but they call out numbers and then you walk down and get on a long tail boat to the big boat taking you to langkawi. Your bags also get taken to the boat on a long tail boat before you get on and your passports are put into a tray and you get them back on the boat ( they ask you where you are from and give you all the passports from your country so that you can pick yours out ) . Getting off the boat after arriving in langkawi was the worst part as everyone was trying to get their luggage as other people were trying to get off.
Great trip, well looked after and very professional. Would have given 5 stars but they had a problem with the engine, kept cutting out near the end of the journey. They still got us there safely and before time. Organised getting me to my Hotel and were very professional and friendly. Great people thank you 🙏
Excellent service from all your representatives at ko lanta pier. Helped with checkin, helped with luggage and helped in and out the boat. Whoever was the captain of our speedboat in the day was amazing at handling the boat. Thank you for your smooth and professional connections to the other islands
I’ve booked a speedboat and got a long tail boat. I wouldn’t be upset about it if someone would tell me the change. Super confused to check in, there was no one from Tigerline at the check in point. Whoever helped us with the ride was helpful though.
The boat was on time and quite confortable. A bit difficult to get into the boat but overall great experience. We appreciated the punctuality of the staff
Rain in Railay was incredibly helpful, he was a rep for bundhaya. He help with our large cases put them on the boat and made sure we were sorted. Such amazing service from him. A big Thank you to Rain and your great service
when on the boat we stopped at koh yao noi, no boat staff said anything about where we were or anything so we got off assuming we were at our destination. even with our bag tags and our shirt stickers the helped us off the boat and let us go to the wrong destination. wasn’t the biggest of deals we just got a boat over to koh yao ya which was only 100 baht but if i were a family travelling with children it would have been more annoying for sure.
anyways just double check where you are because staff won’t tell you/ even with the stickers they just let you off
But on the way back we were not satisfied because it stopped for half an hour at the next station and we were not feeling well from the heat. We are two people, aged 67 and 71, and this heat was not suitable for us, but they were waiting for an extra passenger and took 11 passengers on board. It was supposed to leave at 3 o'clock, but it left 7 minutes early and was in Phuket at 4:10, but it was in Phuket at 4:30. That means we were in that bad heat for half an hour and when we arrived we were not feeling well and we were overheated.
