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.

The 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!

Went 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.

The 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.

The 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.

"The ferry was old but still solid. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, the ferry departed 15 minutes late, but that seems to be normal. One downside was that the price at the port was 100 THB cheaper."

Unfortunately 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.

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.

The air conditioning on the boat blows directly onto the bed. Perhaps there is no alternative due to the limited space, but at least they could provide a normal blanket. The one provided was really small and only covered half of the body.

Ferrytrip 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.

The 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

The 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.
