Lomprayah Office Information
About the Lomprayah Office in Hua Hin
The Lomprayah office in Hua Hin serves as a ticket counter and pick-up point for travelers heading to the Gulf of Thailand islands. Since Hua Hin itself does not have a ferry pier, this office is where passengers check in and board a connecting bus or minivan that links up with the ferry departure point further along the coast.
In practice, Lomprayah Office is the first step of your trip rather than the place you step onto a boat.
What This Office Serves
This location is primarily used for combined transport tickets that bundle a road transfer with a ferry crossing. Travelers booking a Hua Hin to Koh Tao ferry ticket, a Hua Hin to Koh Phangan transfer, or a Hua Hin to Koh Samui ferry and transfer typically start their journey here before being taken to the pier used for the sea crossing.
Because it functions as a check-in and departure point rather than a working pier, passengers should treat it as the start of a multi-leg journey rather than a direct boarding point for the ferry itself.
Onward and Return Connections
Mainland connections such as Hua Hin to Surat Thani may also be searchable from this area, and island travelers heading back north can look up Koh Phangan to Hua Hin or Koh Samui to Hua Hin. Current options for 5 destinations are shown in the search results for your travel date.
Location and How to Reach It
The office is located within Hua Hin town, within reach of most hotels and guesthouses in the area by taxi, songthaew, or a short walk depending on where you're staying. Exact street address and map details are provided on your booking confirmation, so it's worth checking this ahead of your travel date to plan your arrival with enough time to spare.
If you're unsure how far the office is from your accommodation, contacting your hotel or checking the address on your e-ticket in advance is recommended.
Facilities
As a town-based ticket office rather than a large terminal, facilities are generally modest and may include a waiting area and ticket counter. Passengers with heavy luggage or specific needs should confirm available facilities directly through their booking confirmation, as amenities can vary.
Where listed, current details appear as onboard facilities on the station information for your booking.
Routes and Operators Using the Lomprayah Office
Lomprayah is the main operator associated with this office, offering combined bus-and-ferry tickets from Hua Hin to popular island destinations. Depending on availability, other minivan and bus operators serving Hua Hin routes may also use this location as a meeting or check-in point. Available routes and operators can change, so it's best to confirm current options when searching for your journey.
The operator shown on your ticket, listed as Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd., is the one responsible for your departure and any onward connection.
Check-in and Boarding Notes
Passengers should plan to arrive at the office ahead of the scheduled departure time to allow for check-in and the transfer to the ferry pier. Exact check-in times are noted on individual tickets, as they can vary depending on the route and the connecting ferry schedule.
- Bring a printed or digital copy of your ticket
- Carry valid photo ID or passport, especially for island-bound routes
- Arrive with enough buffer time in case of local traffic
- Keep luggage together and easy to load for the road leg
If your itinerary involves an early departure, confirming the check-in time in advance helps avoid last-minute delays.
Travelling as a Group or With Children
Groups, families and passengers with bulky bags should allow extra time at the counter, since seat allocation and luggage handling for a connecting service can take longer than a single-leg trip.
Booking Tips
Combined transport-and-ferry tickets from this office tend to be popular during high season, so booking ahead is advisable, particularly for island routes with limited daily departures. Reviewing your ticket details, including the exact meeting point and check-in time, will help ensure a smooth start to your journey.
Booking the road and sea legs together on one ticket also keeps the connection under a single operator, which is usually simpler than arranging each leg separately.

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.
