Bangrak Pier Information
Bangrak Pier, Koh Samui: Ferries to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao
Bangrak Pier sits on the north coast of Koh Samui, right beside the Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), which is why locals and ferry operators often call it "Big Buddha Pier." It is the main departure point on this side of the island for high-speed catamaran services heading to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.
Where Is Bangrak Pier Located?
Bangrak Pier is a short drive from Chaweng and Bophut, close to Samui International Airport, which makes it a convenient transfer point for travellers flying in and heading straight to the outer islands. Look for the pier next to the Big Buddha viewpoint on Route 4171.
Ferry Operators and Routes from Bangrak Pier
Lomprayah is the main operator running high-speed catamarans from Bangrak Pier, with connections to Thong Sala on Koh Phangan and on to Mae Haad on Koh Tao. Seatran also serves the Koh Phangan and Koh Tao routes from piers on this side of Samui. Exact departure times, journey durations, and fares vary by season and should be checked at the time of booking rather than assumed in advance.

Pier Facilities and Transfers
Bangrak Pier has a ticket counter and covered waiting area for passengers, with parking available nearby for those arriving by car or motorbike. Taxis and songthaews (shared pickup trucks) run regularly between the pier, Chaweng, Bophut, and Samui Airport, and many hotels in the north of the island offer transfers timed to ferry departures. If you're booking a ferry ticket in advance, check whether a hotel or airport transfer is included or needs to be arranged separately.
Nearby Attractions
The Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) is right next to the pier and makes an easy stop before or after your ferry. Lamai Beach and the Ang Thong Marine Park are also reachable from this side of Koh Samui, giving travellers options to combine a ferry departure with some island sightseeing.

Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co Ltd Minivan Service
The Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co Ltd minivan service extends the company's well-known catamaran network with door-to-door road transfers, making it easier to connect coastal piers with towns, airports, and city centers that ferries alone cannot reach. Instead of arranging separate transport before or after your boat trip, this option links land and sea travel into a single, more convenient journey.
How the Minivan Connects With Lomprayah Ferries
Lomprayah pairs its minivan transfers with scheduled high-speed ferry departures, so passengers can move between a pier and a nearby town or transport hub without needing to book transport separately. This combined approach is especially useful for travelers heading to or from islands in the Gulf of Thailand, where onward road transport is often required to reach a final destination.
Exact pick-up points, transfer times, and connecting ferry departures vary by route, so it's best to confirm these details for your specific journey before booking.
Who This Service Suits
- Travelers combining a ferry crossing with a bus or minivan leg on the same ticket
- Passengers who prefer a single booking rather than arranging land and sea transport separately
- Anyone connecting to or from piers that are not within easy walking distance of town centers
Booking Your Lomprayah Minivan Transfer
Availability, pricing, and exact schedules for the Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co Ltd minivan service are shown at the time of booking, since these can change by season and route. If you're also traveling to or from the islands, you may want to check ferry routes to Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui to plan a complete journey.

High-Speed Ferries and Minivan Transfers to Lomlahkkhirin
Traveling to Lomlahkkhirin is easy to arrange when you combine a high-speed ferry crossing with a connecting minivan transfer. This type of combined ticket is a popular choice for travelers who want a single booking that covers both the sea and land legs of their trip, without the hassle of arranging separate tickets or worrying about missed connections.
How the Ferry and Minivan Combination Works
A combined high-speed ferry and minivan ticket typically links a pier-to-pier ferry crossing with a minivan transfer to or from a nearby town, hotel area, or transport hub. This is especially useful when your final destination isn't directly on the coast, since the minivan leg covers the last stretch of the journey by road.
Exact operators, schedules, and prices for the Lomlahkkhirin route can vary, so it's best to check current availability and connection details before you travel.
What to Expect on Your Journey
High-speed ferries generally offer a quicker alternative to standard boat services, while the minivan connection is timed to meet arriving or departing ferries. Depending on the route, you may need to allow extra time between the ferry and minivan legs, particularly during peak travel periods.
- Confirm your pickup point and drop-off location before booking, especially if you're departing from a hotel.
- Arrive at the pier with enough time to check in for your ferry departure.
- Keep your ticket or booking confirmation accessible for both the ferry and minivan legs.
Planning Onward Travel
If your trip continues beyond Lomlahkkhirin, it's worth reviewing other high-speed ferry routes that connect to nearby islands and coastal destinations, so you can plan a seamless multi-leg itinerary in a single booking.

About {operator_name}
Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd is a Thai ferry operator running catamaran services in the Gulf of Thailand and on the Andaman coast. The company is best known for connecting the mainland pier at Chumphon with the islands of Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui, and for its combined bus-and-boat tickets from Bangkok. Use the live schedule and fare search above for current departure times, ticket types, and prices on your chosen date.
{operator_name} is based in Bangkok, Thailand, and currently offers {routes_count} bookable routes across {destinations_served} destinations, including Bangkok, Chumphon, Chumphon Train Station, Donsak, Hua Hin and Khao Sok National Park.
Chumphon: the main hub for Gulf of Thailand routes
Chumphon is Lomprayah's key transfer point for travelers heading to the Gulf islands. Most passengers arrive at Chumphon by train, bus, or private transfer, then connect onto a Lomprayah catamaran bound for Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, or Koh Samui. Because Chumphon sits closer to these islands than other mainland piers, it generally offers a shorter crossing time than routes departing further south.
Lomprayah also sells combined tickets from Bangkok that bundle an air-conditioned coach transfer to Chumphon with the onward ferry leg, so you can book the full Bangkok-to-island journey as a single ticket rather than arranging each stage separately. Check the route options above to see which combined tickets are available for your travel date.
Popular starting points include Chumphon to Koh Tao, Chumphon to Koh Phangan and Chumphon to Koh Samui.
Connecting points on the mainland
Several mainland stops feed into the network. Chumphon Train Station links overnight rail arrivals to the pier, while Hua Hin serves travelers breaking the journey south from Bangkok. Donsak is a mainland ferry port on the Gulf coast, and Khao Sok National Park connects inland travel plans with the island network.
Routes between Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui
Beyond the mainland connection, Lomprayah's catamarans also run directly between the three islands, making it possible to island-hop without returning to the mainland first. Typical inter-island routes link:
- Koh Tao to Koh Phangan
- Koh Phangan to Koh Samui
- Koh Tao to Koh Samui
Exact journey times and departure frequencies vary by season and route, so confirm the current timetable before booking.
Through-tickets from Bangkok
If you are starting in the capital, compare through-services such as Bangkok to Koh Tao, Bangkok to Koh Phangan and Bangkok to Koh Samui to see the combinations available on your date.
Andaman Sea routes
On Thailand's west coast, Lomprayah also operates services linking Krabi with islands further south, using Pak Bara pier as a mainland connection point. If you're planning travel on the Andaman side, check the relevant route page for current pier information and connection details, since these differ from the Gulf of Thailand network described above.
Fleet and onboard comfort
Lomprayah runs high-speed catamarans, a hull design that gives a more stable ride than traditional single-hulled boats, particularly useful during the choppier weather of the rainy season. Onboard, seating is arranged in rows with air conditioning, and most boats have a cozy indoor cabin as well as open-air deck space for passengers who prefer to be outside during the crossing.
The exact {vehicle_type} assigned to your journey is shown with each departure in the search results, along with the seat class on offer.
Service standards
Departures run to a published timetable with a check-in cutoff at the pier, and staff handle boarding and luggage loading at each stage of a combined journey. Where a ticket includes more than one leg, the connection is scheduled as part of the same booking. Weather and sea conditions in the Gulf and Andaman can affect sailings, so confirm your departure on the day of travel.
Booking tips
- Book ahead during high season (December to April) and around Thai public holidays, when island-bound routes sell out faster.
- If you're traveling from Bangkok, compare the combined bus-and-ferry ticket against booking each leg separately, since the combined option is usually simpler to manage.
- Arrive at the pier with enough buffer before departure, as check-in cutoff times apply and boats depart on schedule.
- Review baggage allowances and any luggage fees at checkout before you confirm your booking.
