What Is Changing in the Lomprayah Baggage Policy
The Lomprayah baggage policy has been updated, and here is what passengers need to know before they travel.
Dear Valued Passengers,
Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran has updated its baggage policy to ensure a smoother and more efficient travel experience. These changes will take effect on December 15, 2024.
Updated Baggage Policy
Large Luggage:
- Passengers are allowed 1 large piece of luggage with a maximum weight of 20 kilograms.
- Luggage exceeding 20 kilograms will incur an additional fee of 200 THB.
Small Luggage:
- Handbags, shoulder bags, small suitcases, and other small items are permitted free of charge.
Important Notes
This new baggage policy coincides with the implementation of Lomprayah's updated itinerary schedule starting on December 15, 2024.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this updated policy. For further assistance or inquiries, please reach out our customer service team or visit our official website.
Safe travels!
Who Is Affected by the New Baggage Rules
The updated rules apply to passengers travelling with Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran. If your booking is with a different operator, that operator's own baggage conditions continue to apply, so check the conditions shown on your ticket before you pack.
The date is the key point: journeys departing on or after December 15, 2024 follow the new allowance. Tickets bought earlier but used on or after that date are still subject to the updated policy, because the rules are tied to the travel date rather than the purchase date.
What This Means in Practice
For most travellers, nothing changes. One large bag of up to 20 kilograms per passenger covers a typical suitcase or backpack, and your day bag, handbag or shoulder bag travels free alongside it.
Plan ahead if you are carrying more:
- Weigh your bag before you leave. Going over 20 kilograms costs an extra 200 THB.
- Redistribute weight. Moving heavy items into a small bag you keep with you can bring your main bag back under the limit.
- Allow extra time at the pier. Bags may be checked at check-in, and any excess fee is settled there.
- Travelling as a group? The allowance is per passenger, so spreading weight across bags helps.
Common Questions About the 20 Kilogram Limit
The allowance is described as one large piece per passenger, so a second large bag is not covered by the standard allowance. If you are carrying bulky or unusual items, such as sports equipment or musical instruments, confirm with the operator or our customer service team before your travel date rather than assuming they will be accepted.
The 200 THB charge is stated as a fee for luggage exceeding 20 kilograms. Any further details on how excess fees are applied are not published in this update, so check the conditions attached to your ticket.
Check Your Departure Time Too
Because the baggage change lands on the same day as the updated itinerary schedule, departure times on some sailings may differ from what you saw previously. Re-check your ticket and any connecting bus, minivan or transfer leg, and confirm the current timetable and fare on the route page before you travel.
If your trip combines a ferry crossing with an onward road transfer, remember that each leg may be operated by a different company with its own luggage conditions. Browse all available routes and connections to see how your journey is put together.
