Khao Sok Minivan Office Information
Khao Sok Minivan Station: Transfers Between Surat Thani and Khao Sok National Park
The Khao Sok minivan station (also called the Khao Sok minivan office) is the main transfer point for travelers arriving by minivan on the Surat Thani–Phanom road, near Khao Sok National Park. It handles minivan queues to and from Surat Thani, Khao Lak, and Phuket, and is the connection point most visitors use before continuing on to the ferry piers for Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao.
Where Is the Khao Sok Minivan Office?
The office sits on the main road through Khao Sok, in Phanom district, Surat Thani province, within walking distance of most guesthouses and the national park entrance. Minivans stop here to drop off and pick up passengers travelling between Khao Sok and the surrounding transport hubs.
Minivan Routes To and From Khao Sok
Surat Thani Bus Station to Khao Sok
Minivans run between Surat Thani bus station and the Khao Sok minivan office, covering the road route through Phanom district. Use the search results above for current departure times, journey duration, and fares, since these change by operator and season.
Phuket Airport to Khao Sok
Direct minivan transfers connect Phuket International Airport to Khao Sok, avoiding the need to transit via Surat Thani or Phuket town. Check the live schedule above for available departure times and prices.

Note: we do not have confirmed operator names, exact timetables, or fares for these routes in our current data — please treat the live booking search above as the source of truth for schedules and pricing.
Connecting to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao
Khao Sok is a common stopover for travelers heading to the Gulf of Thailand islands. From the Khao Sok minivan station, onward transfers connect to the ferry piers at Surat Thani and Donsak, where ferries depart for ferries to Koh Samui, ferries to Koh Phangan, and ferries to Koh Tao. Combined minivan-and-ferry tickets covering the Khao Sok to pier transfer plus the boat crossing are typically the most convenient option — check the Surat Thani to Koh Samui ferry schedule for connection times if you're timing a same-day onward journey.
Ferry operators and exact pier departure times vary by route and season; refer to the live search results for the current options rather than the details on this page.
Khao Sok National Park and Cheow Lan Lake
From the minivan station, it's a short trip into Khlong Sok village and the national park entrance. Many visitors continue on to Cheow Lan Lake for raft-house stays and lake tours, typically arranged as a separate onward transfer from Khao Sok.

Operators
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.
