About Koh Tao Booking Center
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 Koh Tao Booking Center can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Koh Tao Booking Center Ferry Types & Tickets Prices
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.

Jaani KThe ferry left in time and it arrived in Surat Thani on time so it was great! The van ride was 1h late and we stopped 2 times in a 3-4h ride. I think 1 stop is enough but it was nice to stretch our legs and pick something to eat. Overall the whole trip was good for the price!

Melody IWent from Koh Tao to Khao Sok. The ferry went very well. The bus thoughdid seem very dodgy and was like a couple of hours late, stopped about 2-3 times in the middle of nowhere, the driver just got out and we were hearing weird noises as if the bus broke down. The driver wasn’t friendly and just didn’t tell us what was going on. Apart from that not too bad.

Shannon WThe speedboat from Koh Tao to Surat Thani was GREAT! Fast and efficient! Staff helpful and kind! The van ride from Surat Thani to Kaoh Sok was horrible. We payed the bus station 300b extra to take us directly to our hotel. The van was hot and cramped, the driver stopped 4 times to go into random stores and pee on the side of the road. Drove an hour past our hotel and said he wouldnt take us back we could pay a taxi 1200b to take us. Total nightmare.

Stefan MThe route wasn't explained: type of boat, duration of the crossing, and type of bus. We waited a long time in an old bus for another boat to arrive, without anyone offering us any assistance, and people who arrived much later left before us in more comfortable conditions. As a result, we had difficulty getting a connection for the rest of the journey.

Ralph LUnfortunately we arrived over 1 Hour Late because the car Operator made a pre-planned stop at its own Break-station, staying there unnecessarily long, which was unfortunately because we missed a pre-booked tour we had arranged for the time after our arrival. At the Break station they also wanted to have 50BHT/Person to get them to their Hotel in Khao Sok. Besides that, everything went Well and the Operator was nice and helpful.

Jana We booked the catamaran from Koh Phangan and then travelled on to Krabi by van from Surat Thani. The catamaran was operated by Lomprayah, as is well known. However, the van was not, and so no one could or would tell us how to continue from Surat Thani. We were sent from one person to the next. There were no signs for the buses and vans. Finally, we found what we assumed to be the bus to Krabi. Instead of the van we had booked, it was a bus. It also took almost an hour longer than booked. No one on the bus wanted to see our tickets or take our names for a possible list. Shortly after we boarded, the bus drove off immediately. A few minutes later and we would have been left standing there. The transfer in Surat Thani was very unprofessional.

Thijs VFerrytrip all fine, the minibus from the pier to Khao Sok was less fine. All busses en minibusses arrived at the end of the pier where we disembarked the ferry. But not our minivan. After everybody left our minibus still wasn't there. Then the busdriver showed up and we had to follow him. He decided not to bring him minibus, instead, we had to walk the whole pier to find his minibus. We were not prepared for this walking. I still don't understand why he didn't bring the minbus to us. The rating stars I use are for the minbus, not for the ferry, ferry was great.

Tarunendra PThe ferry from Koh Tao to Surat Thani was great! However the Minivan from Pattana Tours at Surat Thani was congested and they fit in more passengers than seats making the ride uncomfortable for all.
Pros: On time
Cons: More Passengers than could have been accommodated in the Minivan

Ronen KThe transition from land to the ship is very difficult for elderly and disabled people to walk, and to drag a suitcase. On the ship we sat down, our feet don't reach the floor, a 50-minute cruise, very difficult. What's the problem with building a raised platform to put our feet on? The descent to Hadrin was also a nightmare. And you put the suitcases and bags on top of each other, our suitcase was down, crushed, fortunately there was no damage.
