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.

Katrin SWe left on time at the starting point in Bangkok, check-in was fine, the bus was quite comfortable - with adjustable seats, enough room for the legs and charging options.
We arrived a bit late at the pier, which made me a bit nervous as the ferry was supposed to leave at 1 and we arrived a bit later. Ferry didn't live till 1.15, which was good but they could have told us on the bus do that you can be more relaxed. After all, I would do it again!

Jennifer HPretty horrible the suitcases covered the exit lanes so no where to walk. The waves were very bad so a lot of people got sea sick, I’ve been on a cruise in Koh Samui where the workers offered free travel sickness tablet for everyone which would have helped. The boat was too small for how many people were on the bad very unsafe. A lot of people were afraid, and not happy.

Alessia FWe started at Bangkok and took a bus (7/8 hours) to chumphon. The bus was very comfortable: reclinabile seats, we got blankets and water. AC was on so make sure to have a sweater with you.
We stopped once to get food at around 1am.
Then at chumphon we took the ferry to koh tao. Ferry was also very comfortable, cold as well.
In koh tao wr changed ferry. this one was less comfortable but it was only a 2 hour ride. on this one there was no AC, but it wasn't warm as other reviews say.
Once we arrived in koh samui, there was a shuttle that brought us to our hotel. (we booked the shuttle bus directly on the ferry, they make an announcement)
Overall very nice experience and very good price!

Tomer RIt was well organized, great price, and greate buses and fairies. 4 point from perfect:
1) we had around 1.5 hours of pure waiting in the 6.5 hours trip.
2) they tried to sell us shared van drop off at our hotel in koh pangan 200 bhat each driver claiming it will cost us 1000 bhat on the island, we didnt take it. The private taxi we took cost us the same...
3) they actually charged us overwhight for 3 kg we had over 20. I think its shame.
4) there was nowhere to eat proper lunch on the long way. Only coffee drinks ice cream and snaks on their stands...
Other than that. It was comfortable and organized on time.

Luke SThe seats on the highspeed catamaran were not only the most uncomfortable public style transit seats I’ve ever sat in, but they are also f-ing dangerous. The aluminum arm rests that have 90 degree corners and stick out into the aisle are extremely hard to not bash your knee into as you are navigating around the aisles especially when there are people you are trying to squeeze by on a full boat. I literally roiled in pain for the whole 2 hour ride after I’m pretty sure I broke my kneecap after banging it on the armrest, and I wasn’t even rushing or moving fast. Just carrying my luggage.
I’m picturing the ceo or board of Lompraya scheming on how they can save a few bucks but unfortunately purchasing seats that should only be in a medieval torture chamber maybe wasn’t the best move. Will hopefully never have to ride again, put me on an open air high speed ferry any day over that horrible catamaran

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.
