About Nuanthip
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. Nuanthip 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 Nuanthip?
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.

Check in was simple and quick using the voucher pdf.
Both of my bags were automatically taken by the driver when I got up on the mini bus and stored in a "luggage" space at the front next to his seat so I didn't need to stick it between my legs.
We left on time.
Fortunately there was ac that wasn't very strong but enough to prevent the mini bus from heating up during the ride.
We arrived at our destination on time if not a bit ahead of time which was great.
Don't remember if there was a charging socket but it's not really necessary in such a short ride.

I think they booked too many people for our bus so they put us in the next one which one 1 hour after our initial departure time... without telling us!

The van and ferry trip was very good overall. Everything was punctual, comfortable, and well organized during the journey itself. The transfer and ferry ride went smoothly and met expectations.
However, the information regarding how to redeem the bus ticket was insufficient. It was not clearly communicated that the ticket had to be exchanged at Ticket Building C first, and that the bus departure point was located at the back of the bus terminal. This caused some unnecessary confusion.
Despite this minor issue, the service was reliable and pleasant, and I would still recommend it.

Our trip from Bangkok to Koh Samet was fine. We booked ferry and bus. Back to Bangkok we booked and payed more for speedboat and van incl. luggage. Unfortunately the van was the same kind of bus as the trip out and we had to pay ekstra for luggage. No need to pay ekstra for a van when we got a busride wich would have cost less to book. But we came from a to b though!

Before we could board the bus, we had to pay extra for our suitcases.
No paiment; no trip.
Our voucher indicated that we could take 1 suitcase each (4 persons) with us. No limitations
This is not what we expected.

However there was a 45min wait to the ferry - I feel like this could have been timed better.
Also we were late into Koh Samet

Ferry Ferry + Minibus, Nuanthip, Jun 20, 2025
The ferry experience from Koh Samet was fine but the bus experience wasn't very good. The bus smelled like urine and the seats are extremely narrow and cramped for people with broad shoulders. Some of the double seats are wider than others, so unless you are a petite Thai person you will be sitting shoulder to shoulder with someone

We left 1.5 hours too late. Shortly before departure, all the luggage was suddenly placed in the aisle so that 5 huge boxes of freight could be taken along. The seats were cramped and there was no legroom, especially because of the luggage in the aisle.
The driver did not announce a break, just walked off and nobody knew what to do.

At Ekkamai, the bus attendant tried putting me on a later bus after I already boarded. It seemed like the bus was overbooked and she wanted to keep a group of 3 together at my expense. I declined and continued on my trip. Everything else went well after i started my route.

Ferry Minibus + Speedboat, Nuanthip, Nov 30, 2023
Booked the speedboat at price addon compared to the ferry only to have to wait 60min at the pier as the operator didn't want to leave "before we are 8 more on the speedboat". After my complaints we left 25 min after the foreseen arrival time and were late 30 min. This is ok overall, but not with this reasoning.

The speedboat is a bit choppy, so if you suffer from sea sickness or are nervous on boats, take the ferry instead.

Bus Minibus, Nuanthip, Aug 7, 2023
Our trip was scheduled at 2pm (from Nuanthip Pier to Ekkamai) but when our minibus arrived on time, they informed us that they had made a mistake and they didn't have a seat for us (4people). We were politely told that the only option was to take the next minubus but it would take us to Mochit instead ok Ekkamai which sucked as couple of us actually lived in Ekkamai. The next bus did arrived at around 2:30 and then the 4 of us were (scattered) seated on 4 empty seats within the minibus. I unfortunately got the front seat beside the driver and it was a scary experience from that point of view. Both the drivers were constantly on their phone (texting and on call) and it was quite a ride back home.

Ferry Ferry, Nuanthip, Apr 27, 2023
There are serious issues here.
First, the access to/from the boat is terrible, i.e. very dangerous. 2 shaky planks to cross at Ban Phe for any passengers with luggage is a challenge. 2 guys help a bit from the boat but they might not avoid a fall…
At the arrival in Nadan, it is not much safer to disembark but there are stone steps.
A much better safety system for embarking/disembarking is badly required.
Maybe a visit to developed countries to see how they handle the embarking/disembarking safety issue would be useful.
Maybe also the heavy luggage should be checked-in separately, like for planes…
Second, the boat itself looks and sounds old (I have seen the same kind of boats for many years).
In this case, the engine stopped after 20 min at sea with no information given on board… Hopefully, it lasted a few minutes and nobody panicked… Not a word was said from the beginning to the end. Maybe bots could do the job…
