About PN Group
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. PN Group 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 PN Group?
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.

I was late and missed my bus but everyone was so great and arranged alternative transport for me for free, meaning I still managed to make it to my destination despite my own mistake. Thank you so much!

Only left half an hour late. Which seems reasonable for Thailand. The ride was very good. One toilet break. The speed boat to the island was very fast and comfortable. Transfer from bus to boat was with a small open car with no doors. Very nice. Waited 20 minutes between bus and boat. People got some food meanwhile.

Bus ist pünktlich losgefahren,
2 Halte zum Pinkeln gemacht.
Als wir mit dem Bus angekommen sind wurden wir direkt von der Crew abgeholt und nach 5Minuten warten sind wir sicher und gemeinsam als Gruppe zur Fähre gegangen.
Dort nochmal 5Minuten gewartet.
Die Fahrt mit dem Speed Boat (Fähre) war schnell, teilweise etwas rucklig, aber sehr angenehm.
Insgesamt war ich voll zufrieden, vor Allem zu diesem günstigen Preis

Really helpful staff when I got to Ekkhami station early and asked whether I could take an earlier bus. The immediately sorted this out. The bus was comfortable enough and there was a toilet break dtop. On arrival in Rayong everyone is so organised even to the extent that they had my name on a list when I got there. They gave us a bottle of water and out us on the boat and helped with the luggage.

Departed from Bangkok about 10 mins after original 9:30 time, and we had few stops picking up some locals. Arrived to Ban Phe pier around 1pm, then transferred over to a speed boat and arrived to Koh Samet by 1.30. All were very well organised!

We started our journey at 8:45 because the bus driver was waiting for customers which were late. We drove with a Minivan to the Pier, switched to the Speedboat and arrived at around 13:00 at the pier.
Overall the transfer was great and we would book it again!
