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. Thubthim Siam Travel 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 Thubthim Siam Travel?
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.

Driver was excellent but Support Team was not helpful. Support team contacted us via phone because they didn’t know if they send the driver to the correct address and confused us even though the driver had already picked us up.

Driver was great, super friendly and on time but there was no allowance for travellers with luggage. My 21 yo daughter ended up in what could only be called a seat in name only, so to be kind so that older less flexible passengers could travel in relative comfort. She then had to worry if the tower of luggage was going to fall on her. Driver took way too many passengers.

Very confusing in the airport. I asked a lot of people where to go and about the 6 th person could help me and called a driver up. Nice car and driver 👌 Then we got to the dock to go with a long tail boat to the Island. Had a 45 minutes wait. Nobody informed me of anything, had to ask to know if I had time to go to the toilet.
Great driver and honest person and also she show up on time.

I’ve traveled from Krabi to Langkawi Island (because I didnt see any other reviews to this I will list up my experience here). The Pickup-Time was correct, the driver was even 15 before pickup-time there (6:20 am instead of 6:40 am). Pick up at the hotel was no problem. The general information that you get with this trip is not really helpful (the only time which is mentioned is the pickup time in Krabi). Anyways we drove for a bit till Lan-gu. Then the drive told me to get out of the car and in another minivan over the street from another company. I had no information at all so I just went with the flow and followed the instructions. We then went down to Satun where the driver actually drove me to a hotel (I didn’t seem they would know, because they had no names of customers and the spot of the company was looking like a ruin but it worked). The madam at the hotel had expected me and also had the pickup time for the next morning (9:30 am (this time was nowhere on the pdf and that I will switch the van in between also not). The driver came 9:30 am and I went with him to the Tammalang Pier, the madams at the ticket shop at the pier didn’t know about me but another one which they called did and all was payed for. So in general you don’t have any information but the pickuptime from your hotel in Krabi, anyways if you just follow the drivers instructions and ask a little bit, you will get what you payed for (the hotel is probably not worth it but everything else) and you will arrive at Kuah Jetty safe and at the mentioned time. All in all it worked good.

Smooth journey, 30 mins wait at Krabi bus stop to change over to another mini van is the only reason not 5 star review. Got there on time, slightly earlier then suggested time.
We were picked up at our hotel by a driver and taken to Krabi’s bus station. We then waited for other travelers to leave the station. We forgot someone and had to go back to the bus station. We then went to the airport and picked up two additional travelers and had to be creative with seats. It felt like we made multiple additional stops, picking up people randomly. At one point, a lady with her baby hopped in the van while we were on the ferry. The driver didn’t drop us off at our hotel but dropped us off on the side of the road and talk us to walk 10 minutes down the road with all our luggage.

Picked up on time, long drive to Pak Bara pier, driver stopped for a couple of toilet breaks for us. Well organised at the pier to collect our boat tickets and get on the boat to Ko Lipe. The first boat we got on appeared to have a problem shortly after we set off, they sent another boat and we transferred over. This was all handled fairly quickly with our luggage transferred for us. No one on the boat spoke English though, luckily a passenger could translate and let us know what was going on. Very little information about timings, etc...you just have to trust the process!

There's not a booth to be picked up from, just wait on the side of the road for a van to pull up. Someone will come out and look around for you.

Just after booking the 12 Support wrote us that we have to pay additonal 600 THB to the Bus driver for pick up at our Hotel near Old Town Koh Lanta and drop off at our Hotel near Ao Nang. There was no information about this extra costs before and within the booking and there was no possibility to cancel the transfer after the message about these intransparent extra costs.
The transfers should be included when they write pick up is "Koh Lanta Hoteltransfer" and arrival point "Ao Nang Transfer" with no further informations. At the end we paid 400 THB extra after some discussions.
The transfer itself was really good and comfortable (we were the only two passengers on board). The driver was 30 minutes before pick up time at our Hotel and really friendly. Would gave them 5* when we didn't had the issues with the non-transparent extra costs.

The boat was fine and nothing wrong with it. We were dropped off on land and no one knew where to go. By good luck we found an office where we could wait for a van to take us vander. The driver really drove like crazy, not normal! Glad we were still alive!
Driver wanted extra money upon arrival. We did not agree.
I think he thought it was quite normal. Everyone got off the bus looking pale. After 3 days we recovered from this nightmare.

The trip was on time and at first it was all good.
At the end the driver didn’t stop at our hotel and just dropped us somewhere - in the next town about 12 km away from our hotel.
He was very rude and forced us to leave the van - we wanted to tell him that he directly passed our hotel on the way but he didn’t want to “talk” with us, threw our bags out of the van and drove away. We had to take a taxi for 400BT.

Unfortunately, the individual travel routes were not clear. How long do you travel by van, how long do you travel by boat.
Where is the stopover (end with the van, departure by boat).
The travel time given was from 09:00 to 16:00. The ticket from the peer then stated arrival at 17:00 and in the end we only arrived at 18:00.
Original travel time increased from 7 hours to 9 hours. If we had known this from the beginning, we might have planned differently (an overnight stay in between/another means of transportation).
Pick-up was very punctual at 08:55 at the agreed location.
