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.

We took the VIP bus and ferry from Bangkok to Koh Tao. The bus was very good, we could lay down and we got water and a snack box. I took a travel pill before going on the ferry, but at the end we didn’t need one!

Waited at the pier, which had a small store to get some food. Bus took us to the boat and boat got to the island. Journey was just fine. On the boat you can also buy food and drinks.
If you have a backpack, would recommend putting your raincover on for protection of your bag (if you care about that).

En retard et nous laisse bien poireauter sans aucune raison.
Mauvaise organisation aussi car ils commencent à faire entrer certaines personnes en fonction de l'île mais en articulant, du coup pas très compréhensible et nous étions tous perdus.
Le personnel est arrogant et impoli.

I’ve seen some reviews that weren’t that good? My trip was perfect. As a solo traveller I was slightly nervous but I went to the agency the day before to check the details and the staff were all so helpful!! I arrived at around 5am just in case (checked in and got a ticket using my online voucher) and there is a seven eleven round the corner if you need food and water (you get given a small bottle and a muffin and juice with vip but I knew I’d be hungry as it’s a long journey). They give you a different colour sticker depending on destination plus your seat number so make sure to get on the right bus but there are so many people to ask!! Short wait at the pier (where there is a really good and cheap food place) and then a quick boat over. All in all a really good experience with the VIP bus and the staff were all LOVELY and everything went smoothly🤝

Wir sind über Nacht mit dem VIP Ticket nach Ko Thao gefahren und haben eine gute Erfahrung gemacht. Bei der Agentur angekommen konnten wir schnell einchecken und unser Gepäck deponieren während wir die wartezeit in der Straße mit einer Massage und ein paar Bier überbrückt haben. Die Busse fahren nicht direkt von der Agentur ab, sondern am Kreisverkehr davor. Es gab zwei Busse einen normalen und einen VIP-Bus. Stellt sich ja dass ihr in den richtigen Bus einsteigt. Der VIP Bus hatte drei Sitze pro Reihe, also deutlich breiter als normale, die man auch zurückstellen konnte. Zudem gab es im VIP Bus Snacks und Getränke allerdings nicht genügend für die ganze Fahrt also besser noch mal selber was mitnehmen. Außerdem ist ein kleines Reisekissen zu empfehlen. Insgesamt dauerte die Busfahrt rund 8 Stunden danach hatten wir eineinhalb bis zwei Stunden Pause am Pier und dann ging es ca eineinhalb Stunden mit dem Katamaran weiter auf ko Thao.
Leider hatten wir schlechtes Wetter und starken Wellengang, deshalb konnten wir das Oberdeck des Katamarans nicht nutzen. Die Fahrt war sehr abenteuerlich leider sind die meisten Passagiere seekrank geworden. Mindestens die Hälfte mussten sich übergeben, das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und hat Tüten zur Verfügung gestellt. Ich würde empfehlen tücher/taschentücher selbst mitzubringen, oder wenn es geht die Reise auf einen Tag zu legen wo wenig Wellengang ist. Für diesen Umstand möchte ich allerdings keinen Stern abziehen, da der Veranstalter nichts für das Wetter, oder die Wellen kann.

The ferry ride was terrible for everyone on board. Why not give warnings about stormy sea to have people take anti sickness medicine? And despite taking it still got sick by the way. The bus was good, BUT they advertised reclining seats, I was seated in last row, not possible to recline the seat and the two passengers infront of me reclined their seat to the very maximun and left me squeazed in the back.

En provenance de Bangkok, le train avait une heure de retard. Je pensais donc loupé la navette. Un service de taxi a été organisé pour les retardataires. (Il y avait 200 baths à payer). Il nous a conduit à toute vitesse jusqu' au bateau qui attendait également. Bref super.

The AC wasn’t really working in the bus so it was very hard to fall asleep. They gave us a blanket but it would only have helped if the AC would work. And the operator was around one hour late.

all ran smoothly very easy to know how to get from ferry to bus and they offer a shuttle bus service to your hotel for an extra 150b which you can buy on the ferry or bus station when you’re dropped off

Took the speedboat from Donsak to Koh Tao. Had to make a stop in Samui and Phangan, that was all fine. But in Phangan we had to switch boats and then it went wrong. They sold way to many tickets so many people had to stand up. Not a safe situation because of the rough weather. Many people vomited because they were not able to sit proparly.

It was storming and’s everyone on board were throwing up. Literally thought I would die. It was an hour trip from 16-17, we came to Koh Tao at 19. Also our bags got taken from us, and when we got them back, they were all wet…

The ferry was ment to leave at 11 am. We got there half an hour early and there were 5 hugest lines that took us 35 minutes to get to the front. We then had to run to the ferry port to make sure we got on the ferry as now it was 11.20 by the time we had fully checked In .
Once one the ferry everything went smoothly

Sie haben wirklich darauf geachtet das nid zu eng wird, die Fahrt war super angenehm. Ein und Ausladen hat super funktioniert, Sicherheit mit Schwimmwesten, aber freiwillig zu tragen😊 Danke für diese tolle Arbeiter! Reisezeit: Mitte Oktober, Start Regensaison, weniger Touristen. Dafür ist das Wetter unbeständig. Aber eins trotzdem, die wärme und Luftfeuchtigkeit war für mich ideal. Bin gespannt auf meine Rückreise.

Fahrt mit dem Catamaran war super, nach Ankunft mussten wir noch ca 20 min warten bis der Bus gekommen ist da es aber Toiletten und Essensmöglichkeiten gab war diese Pause ganz angenehm.
Mit Ausgabe des Bustickets wurden Sitzplätze zugewiesen und es ging pünktlich los. Nach ca 2,5 h die einzige Pause für geplante 30 Minuten hieraus wurden ca 50 min was natürlich nicht allzu schön war. Nach der Pause gab es für alle auch eine Decke, leider war die Klimaanlage doch sehr stark eingestellt und es haben viele gefroren.
Letztendlich kamen wir ca 1,5 h später an als geplant.
War keine Traumreise aber für das Geld total in Ordnung.
