About Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd.
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.
Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd. is based in Bangkok, Thailand, and currently offers 144 routes bookable routes across 16 destinations 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 several transport options 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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
How long am I locked out for?
The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:
- 1st lock — 1 minute
- 2nd lock — 5 minutes
- 3rd lock — 15 minutes
- 4th lock and after — 1 hour
An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.
How can I get transportation to the Pier (Phuket) from the airport?
You can pick up a taxi from the airport just outside Phuket airport terminal, though please be informed it is a busy place!
Alternatively, you can organize your transfer through us on step 2 of your ferry booking process. The prices are very reasonable. For up to 3 people we have private taxis and for groups of 4-8 people, we can arrange a minivan pick-up service.
