About KP Tripadvisor
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. KP Tripadvisor 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 KP Tripadvisor?
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.

Muy buen viaje. Todo a tiempo y organizado. Es agotador porque el tren no tiene AC pero se comparte con locales que hacen el viaje muy bueno. Se atraso un poco pero bien, sobre todo por el valor.

Of course there were some things not going great, like the train dealys and the fact the ticket said 10pm and the ferry was 11pm. But: the beds at the Night boat are quite good, the staff there and in Chumphon were helpful and the experience of the train is worth any dealys. Really enjoyed the experience.

First with a night boat to Champhon where you get your bed, blanket and a pillow and the room have AC, you can sleep outside too if you want. In the port was waiting for us mini van that took us to a train station and after that with the 3th class train to Hua Hin. Was actually nice experience traveling with the Thai people. And you can see a lot of landscape if you can't sleep in a train. But it takes couple of hours to arrive to destination.

Priority booking was nice but probably not necessary. Airport is very small.. you need to go 150m to baggage claim and another 50m to get to the bus. With priority booking the driver stays in front of the arrival gate at the Airport and has your name written on it. ;) Bus left earlier since there were not many people. We drove to Chumpon and there had time to get some food and drinks at a thai street market. We then drove in a open truck to the fairy which was an adventure. The fairy i mean. Dont expect luxury. Bunk beds with fresh sheets and a planket. The AC was turned on before we departured so if you just wanted to sleep you could. Dont forget earplugs. There will be at least one guy snoring! Other than that everything fine and smooth.

Bought tickets online and we printed the confirmation/itinerary at the hotel. Had a WhatsApp message the night before our trip from someone at KP to ask us to collect tickets from the ticket office on the pier. On the day we were told to collect the tickets in line on the pier, which was simple enough. Journey and staff/crew were fine. Girls toilets weren't working but still being used - my partner said the boys were working fine. Journey took 15 to 30 minutes longer than planned.

Tres bien. J'ai été très contente d'avoir pu faire mes réservations par avance sur 12go asia. Si vous prenez le ferry puis le train il est conseillé de prendre les 2 lors de votre reservation. Sur place super organisation. Prevoir quand même d'arriver un peu plus tôt pour retirer vos billets car sur la dernière heure avant le départ il y a du monde mais c'est gérable. Tres bonne expérience je renouvelerai

our train from Hua Hin had 1h delay. But we are lucky this transport wait for us! Great! The minibus was in good shape and just 3-5 persons in it. The driver went fast but always in speed limit. In halfway they changed driver. The trip Chumphon - Ranong was about 2.5 hours. I Iwould book again.

Rode 3rd class from Chumphon to Bangkok, quite an experience! Locals sold food and drinks constantly during the trip and was a great way to experience the country side with fully open windows. I wouldn’t recommend doing anything over 6 hours though (our trip was 10 hours by the time the train arrived in Bangkok...trains are never on time in Thailand) and be sure to not wear white as by the end we were quite dirty from the dust. Otherwise a fun experience full of Thai people.

Small sits during an 8 Hours trip. We did this as a result of no tickets for train, 12go Asia should arrange these tickets but did not manage to get the tickets. If you are tall, i won’t reccomend it. Or book two Seats for 1 person.

Ferry Catamaran, KP Tripadvisor, Aug 11, 2019
The bus trip to the catamaran was arranged perfectly. However, the catamaran trip to the island itself was really crowded. It meant that, even though it rained, a lot of people had to sit outside on benches or on little stools.

Only problem we had was there was no one to handle the luggage at the end of the trip. So when we docked 100 people rushed to a large pile of luggage. By the time we got to the pile we only had 1/2 our luggage. The other 1/2 was on the dock. I’m guessing someone picked up our bag and left it there. Other then was the ride was good, offered snacks, and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean.

Bus journey was fine, not too long. Bus was pretty worn out but we got there in one piece.
Catamaran journey was ok too. Earplugs are a good idea as it is loud, as you'd expect. Noise cancelling headphones plus music helped me sleep.

Quando siamo arrivati con un van alla stazione di Chumphon ci aspettava la receptionista per il ferry ( l'autista l'aveva chiamata per prevenirla dal nostro arrivo).Ci hanno portato al pier, il ferry è un pochino vecchio , un po rumoroso ma i letti eranno confortevole con lenzuole puliti e aria condizionata. Bellissimo viaggio, partenza alle 22 e 30 arrivo alla 5 di mattina a koh tao.....da fare per chi vuole fare un traversata economica (10euro) e non si aspetta la cabine di lusso

Nasty toilets, loud and the way to our boat level was quite dangerous as construction material blocked the way and we were expected to climb over it.

I was at the train station earlier than expected, so I was allowed to take an earlier bus without paying extra, which was great. The girl at the check in office was very friendly and helpfull. My seat was very uncomfortable and there where a lot of stops on the way, picking up and dropping off things. So not the best trip ever, but we got there on time for a good price, so I’m happy enough.
