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.

Leonora JAn hour early we checked in, then half an hour before takeoff we loaded our bags in the bus. The bus was equipped with charging stations, water and a blanket, and very comfortable bus seat. We stopped at a restaurant at about 2 in the morning, where you could get snacks . I was very cold so bring warm clothes. I did the 21:30 bus, which ment we saw the sunrise on the boat. I was a lovely trip. The staff seemed a bit unorganized but everything went quite well

Scott WIt wasn't at all what I was expecting. I had thought I'd booked a high speed catamaran from Koh Samui to Koh Tao, but we were ushered into a speed boat to Koh Pangan then ushered into a waiting very old dilapidated large slow monohull to Koh Tao. It was quite confusing, but it got us there.

Aldric MThe journey went very well.
We left on time and arrived on time, within about 10 minutes of the scheduled arrival time.
Everything was very well signposted during the transfer between the boat and the bus.
During the bus check-in, they make sure to seat you next to the people you are travelling with.
This time, there were no surprises, and we got the correct boat and the correct bus, both of which were clearly indicated on the voucher/website when booking.

Guy SThe drive was very cramped, the toilet in both the bus and the ferry was terrible and very dirty, vip is very recommended. We got to the dock 2 hours early, took one ferry to koh tao, from there we had to get off the ferry and switch to another to koh phangan. There is a wait of an hour and a half between the two ferries which wasn't clear, also there was an additional delay of half an hour in koh tao which was just annoying. In general it is a difficult transport to the island but has to be done. At least everything moved smoothly enough and was easy to follow.

Aldric MPicking up the boarding tickets and luggage tags at the port counter went very smoothly.
The boarding area is clearly signposted (and in any case, you are given small stickers to put on your clothes so that the staff can direct you to the right place).
The boat arrived on time and dropped us off on time as well.
However, it might be worth specifying the type of boat when booking, as the boat we took was not the one shown on the voucher.
For the Koh Phangan → Koh Tao journey we took, be careful when choosing your departure time, as depending on the schedule, you may not be on the “large” catamaran (the white boat shown on the voucher), but on a small speedboat.
The waves are felt much more strongly on the speedboat, and it could make you seasick if you are not used to it or are prone to motion sickness, as it is a much smaller boat. The journey takes around 50 minutes.
This should be specified when booking.
If you have no issue with this, then it’s perfectly fine. Otherwise, it’s something to keep in mind when choosing your departure time.

Jocelyn TWe were put on a smaller open air speed boat instead of the larger air conditioned ferry in their listing pictures. Which would have been fine, except that it was overbooked so there was a crowd of us left squashed and standing at the back of the ferry for the entire 30+min journey. Comfort aside, it would probably have been a safety lapse too since the overbooking means there would have been a shortage of life jackets had we required them.
