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.

Van Taxi + Van, Koh Tao Booking Center, May 6, 2024
Bus 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.

Logistically 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.

Ferry Sleeper Boat, Koh Tao Booking Center, Apr 1, 2024
Depending 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

Ho prenotato in aeroporto verso Koh Samui leggendo per caso nei vari blog che era preferibile prenotare con anticipo i biglietti per raggiungere Koh Phangan, altrimenti si rischiava di non trovare posto. Ed effettivamente era vero, forse perché sabato. Fortunatamente sono riuscita a prendere penso tra gli ultimi biglietti disponibili. Raggiuto il porto sono andata al desk dove ho mostrato la prenotazione sul telefono e mi hanno emesso il biglietto vero e proprio, una specie di scontrino che poi mi hanno controllato all'ingresso della barca. Ho letto terribili recensioni su questo servizio delle Speed Boat, io ho viaggiato su un catamarano ed era comodissimo, nessun problema di nessun genere. In 30 minuti sono arrivata a destinazione. Sarò stata fortunata, in ogni caso è andato tutto bene.

Guides were great, very helpful and funny, putting people in a good mood. The only thing was there was no snorkeling because of high waves and we could have been informed of that before, the weather had been the same for 3 days..

Ferry Catamaran + Bus + Van, Koh Tao Booking Center, Dec 27, 2023
On 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).

The boat is comfortable. Before getting on the boat, we checked out from the hotel quickly. we live luggage at the booking center for free. The boat goes to Surat Thani. There was a car waiting to pick us up. We arrived early at khaosok It was a good trip

This trip route is very easy to navigate and Holiday Buses were very organized and punctual

Boat was surprisingly fine, I took a Valium and slept most of it.
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.

Ferry Ferry, Koh Tao Booking Center, Oct 23, 2023
een groot pluspunt is dat we optijd aankwamen. De bedden in de boot waren wel echt mega hard waardoor je niet echt kon slapen. Bij de boot werden we opgehaald om vervolgens ergens te wachten op de bus richting krabi. Hier werd ons aangeboden voor 100 bath naar het hotel te brengen ipv het busstation. Dit hadden we gedaan, vervolgens staan we bij het busstation en doet meneer alsof hij van niets weet..

Well 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.

When 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.

For a 50min ride all good but diesel smell, seats uncomfortable and few leaks from the ceiling. Maybe not good for longer rides.

The 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

It’s just a boat to get you from a to b.. don’t put much else into it because it’s cheap. Also if it’s choppy and you sit by the window expect to get sprayed by the water.

Get 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.

Beds themselves were quite hard yet comfy and we got a decent sleep, we were next to the air con so a jumper was useful. Boat staff were very helpful unloading bags to the pier which was great as there were a fair few coconuts to climb over on the way off!
