About Koh Tao Booking Center
To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Koh Tao Booking Center offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Koh Tao Booking Center?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
- To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
- Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
- Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
- Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
- Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
- Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Koh Tao Booking Center Company Reviews

Alice TBus left and arrived an hour late. Pick up said 10 and after half an hour I messaged the company to ask where it was, was told pick up is 10-11 as they have other people to collect. Bus arrived just before 11 completely empty. They know that people are getting the 3pm ferry and therefore have no sense of urgency. Staff I spoke to was very friendly and helpful however. AC was terrible we were sweating for the whole 3 hours so it was quite uncomfortable.

Cooper PLogistically smooth. Showed up half an hour before, checked in at a folding table, waited and got led onto one of two speedboats for that hour and set off right then. There were crowds at the pier but for other operators, this one was easy to register for and get on.

Tim SDepending on your expectations. If you want to have a sleeping place enter the boat at least 3 hours before departure and stay there otherwise is not guaranteed that it’s still available. Boat was totally full lots of locals using it for transport accordingly is the comfort. At the end it’s a unforgettable experience didn’t sleep that much because of the heat and cuddling with locals :D

Valeria SI made reservations at the airport to Koh Samui by chance reading in various blogs that it was preferable to book tickets to Koh Phangan in advance, otherwise you might not get a seat. And indeed it was true, perhaps because it was Saturday. Fortunately I managed to get I think among the last available tickets. Reaching the harbor, I went to the desk where I showed the reservation on the phone and they issued me the actual ticket, a kind of receipt that they then checked at the boat entrance. I read terrible reviews about this Speed Boat service, I traveled on a catamaran and it was super comfortable, no problems whatsoever. In 30 minutes I arrived at my destination. I must have been lucky, in any case everything went well.

Laili AOn time, smooth, comfortable and kind staffs all the way from Koh Tao to Khao Sok. One will even barely aware there are different companies that make trip trip possible. It was rought weather in the boat, but the staffs in speed boat made sure all passengers had plastic bag ready for sea sick - they are so prepared and know what they are doing. Our van driver to Khao Sok was very kind to drop me to my hotel (about 1-2km further).

Can was quiet spacious for me. It wasn’t fully booked, so we had loads of room. Although I have heard it can be over booked sometimes.
Overall I was happy with my experience.

Laura WA big plus is that we arrived on time. The beds in the boat were really hard so you could not really sleep. We were picked up at the boat and waited for the bus to Krabi. Here they offered to take us to the hotel instead of the bus station for 100 bath. This we had done, then we stand at the bus station and pretends he knows nothing....

Jake EWell the sleeper ferry is a fine experience. I think if it would have busier I would of liked it less as the beds are shoulder to shoulder but I had space between on both sides. However the van was where I had issue. There was not enough room in the van so I had to sit 4 ppl in 3 seats and was very uncomfy for everyone.

Alice PWhen I saw where I had to sleep, I thought the worst, but in the end it wasn't that bad.
You shoud let everyone know that you won't have your own bed, but you'll sleep with other people, all together, close to each other.
You can have your own bed, but not booking with asia12go I suppose, because all the person who where sleeping with me book thought the website, instead who slept in their own bed booked at the pier infopoint.
As I said, in the end it wasn't that bad, but still I would prefer to know it before booking.

Maria CThe night ferry was a very nice experience, I have slept in my little bed with the sheet and the pillow provided (it is always cold in this case so think about), but also because it was not full (or could had been a more intense experience). There was some confusion from the transportation from the pier to the airport and we did it with an open old vehicle not a van as written, but at the end everything was on time. I could do it again

Josephine HGet to the boat about a hour early if you want any choice of bed!! Ferry was cramped with small thin ‘gym mat’ mattresses - probably about a metre space across per person. Also the girls next to me were top and tailing because they couldn’t find enough beds each, would have been useful to have a designated bed each because it was definitely cramped where I was. However experience was fine for what I paid and the crossing was smooth and it was an easy checkin.
