From Ao Nang to Phuket
Sunny Journey: From Ao Nang to Phuket
Phuket is a mountainous island in the Andaman Sea. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand. The weather in Phuket varies between warm, cool, and rainy. But it never gets too cold though.
If you think that Phuket is all about beaches and it has no culture, you may be surprised. You will find that there’s more to Thailand than the most popular beaches, sand, sea, and sun. To discover Phuket's rich history, vibrant markets, and charming old shophouses, simply head to the island's east coast. Phuket Town is the cultural capital. It offers insights into the island's history and bustling markets.
You can take a ferry from Phuket to the famous Koh Phi Phi or visit the mystical Phang Nga Bay. You will easily find many trips from Phuket to enjoy Krabi and all the nearby islands.
When booking your ferry tickets for an island getaway, paying attention to departure times is crucial. It will ensure a seamless and enjoyable journey. Flexible departure times can make your travel experience much better. It enables you to select a schedule that best suits your plans and preferences.
During a ferry trip, reliable customer service is like a helpful companion. They're there to quickly address questions, concerns, or any last-minute changes, ensuring a stress-free and smooth journey. So, it's always reassuring to know that help is just a call or a chat away when you're out at sea. When planning your trip, make sure to give careful consideration to departure times when booking your tickets. This, coupled with excellent customer service, will ensure you get the most out of your maritime adventure.
Thai is the official language in Thailand. But you can find that tourist operators speak English but still, just to be safe, you might need to carry a Thai phrasebook.
From Ao Nang to Phuket by ferry
The ferries operate daily during the high season (November to April), in low season (May to October) the ferries operate on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
From Nopparat Thara Pier to Rassada Pier
Please note that from July to October, operators may provide Speed Boats instead of a ferry with no extra charge due to boat maintenance.
Best time to visit
From December to March is the best time to visit Phuket for beach activities. You can enjoy the good weather and the small crowd in the month of November. If the crowd doesn’t bother you, then December and January bring the most amazing weather of all. The other six months are monsoon season, the lodging prices are way lower these months but the water can be dangerous, and it is hard to find a trip by ferry or a speedboat because of the water conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.
To proceed, please click the chat button to connect with one of our customer service agents, or use any of the official channels listed in the footer of our website.

If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
