About Lomprayah
While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.
Ferry trips offered by Lomprayah can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Lomprayah Ferry Types & Tickets Prices
High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.
Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons
Pros of Ferry Travel
- Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
- Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
- On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
- Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!
Cons of Ferry Travel
- The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
- Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

Vittorio WWe didn’t know and it was not told before in the booking or when we checked in at the office at Lomprayah that we have to get off the boat and drive one hour by bus to Tapee Pier. That was strange but ok. It would just be nice to know before the trip.

Maximilian OWas on a small speed boat instead of catamaran ferry. Got totally seasick we jumped and fell a meter or more every second wave. If it wasn't for the great crew, I'd have vomited all over the place. (Which I did either way in the end)

Alexander HI had a problem with the transfer van they sold me aboard. Even though they photographed my hotel detail and wrote it on the ticker. The driver they sent me with took me the wrong way compelty, and 1 hour detour, they passed me around 3 vans to get me back my proper beach house, and I lost a hat on one of their vehicle after switching to the other 2 vans... And they won't locate it.

Ahmad HDeparting from Mae Haad Pier in Koh Tao via Lomprayah offers an exceptionally organized and seamless transition from the islands back to the mainland. The office procedures at the pier are well-managed and fast, ensuring tickets and luggage tags are handled smoothly before boarding.
Upgrading to the VIP lounge on board is well worth the extra cost. The designated upper-deck area provides a quiet, premium environment with plush, highly comfortable seating and strong air conditioning that makes the crossing exceptionally relaxing. Traveling on their massive high-speed catamaran ensures a steady, balanced ride that keeps seasickness completely at bay.
Upon arriving at the Lomprayah Pier in Chumphon, guests are treated to stunning coastal views, though navigating the long pier with heavy luggage requires a fair bit of walking. The private pier facility itself is well-kept, clean, and efficiently managed.
The onward connection via Lomprayah's double-decker bus for the drive directly to Chumphon Airport is convenient and dependable.
While the bus fleet feels slightly dated, the transfer is comfortable and gets you to your departure gate without hassle. Overall, it remains a reliable, high-quality transit service worth using again

Ahmad HLomprayah sets the gold standard for ferry transfers in the region, delivering an organized, stress-free travel experience from start to finish. The check-in process at Koh Phangan is exceptionally fast and efficient, supported by helpful staff who provide clear guidance on boarding and luggage procedures every step of the way.
The fleet consists of large, high-speed catamarans designed with stability and passenger comfort in mind. The vessels feature fantastic seating configurations—both indoor air-conditioned cabins and spacious outdoor decks—offering plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride. Thanks to the catamaran's large dual-hull design, the boat feels remarkably steady on the water, making the likelihood of seasickness far lower compared to smaller speedboats or standard ferries.
The roughly 1.5-hour journey to Koh Tao passed by seamlessly, and we arrived feeling refreshed and in great shape. For reliable, high-quality island hopping, Lomprayah is easily the top choice and a service worth using again without hesitation

Hannah GThe ferry and bus were great. We did arrive 30minutes late at Krabi Lomprayah Office. The van from the office was terrible! The man driving was very aggressive! He drops one person off at the wrong spot then when he told him and tried to show him where it was he wouldn’t listen. I was ment to be the 3rd person to get dropped off and he drove straight past my accommodation and dropped the last group off at theirs then back tracked to mine. It scared me and I did not feel comfortable being in the van alone with him!!

Hila AWas not what I expected. The ferry was fine, but notice it stops at Koh Pangan and Koh samui before getting to surat Thani. After that we had to switch a van three times! And the last van was just a public transportation with no air conditioning, stopping at many points on the way which made the ride really long. Arrived 45 minutes late then scheduled.

ROBERT KEasy check-in, smooth ride @11, my first travel, was affraid of the speed and tides, but did not feel it was a fast boat. Our travel was only 30min. Do not look for slow big boat, if you have faster catamaran near by, choose early hour trip if you are affraid of sea sickness as I was.

Antoinette BThe trip on the return journey was a little scary and the driver was brilliant. He/she had issues on the approach of the island.
There were lots of people’s personal items all over the place, the chairs were sliding all over the place too.
One bottle of pop ended up in the sea, now I know this was the passengers fault but I think some for of alert should be sounded when the sea becomes choppy.
The captain of the boat did a fab job, no denying that!
This was the 3.30 from Koh Tao to Samui.
