How to get from Phangan Island to Khao Sok National Park
Getting from Koh Phangan to Khao Sok National Park
Travelling between Phangan Island and Khao Sok National Park means combining a ferry crossing with an overland transfer, since Khao Sok National Park sits inland in Surat Thani province rather than on the coast. Most travellers leave from Thong Sala Pier on Koh Phangan, cross to the mainland at Surat Thani or Don Sak Pier, and continue by road to the park. The reverse journey follows the same route in the opposite direction.
Route Overview: Phangan Island to Khao Sok National Park
This route is typically sold as a combined boat-and-bus ticket, so you book one ticket and the connection between ferry and vehicle is arranged for you. The journey takes about 1 minutes, with 5 available depending on the day and season. Always check the exact departure time shown at booking, since ferry and bus connections through Surat Thani can shift with tides, road conditions, and the operator's own timetable.
Operators and Onboard Comfort
Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd. and Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd operates this connection, using a several transport options for the leg between Koh Phangan and the Surat Thani mainland before transferring passengers to road transport bound for Khao Sok. Onboard facilities include onboard facilities, making the crossing comfortable even with luggage for a national park stay. Khao Sok itself is well known for its rainforest trekking, Cheow Lan Lake, and limestone karst scenery, so most travellers are arriving for a multi-day stay rather than a day trip.
Prices and Availability
Fares for this route start from ฿810. Prices can vary by operator, travel class, and season, so use the live fare shown at checkout for the date you plan to travel rather than a fixed figure. The route runs during all year round; outside these months, sailings may be reduced or combined with alternative transfer options, so it is worth confirming availability before finalising other travel plans.
Booking Your Ferry and Transfer
Book your combined ferry and transfer ticket for Phangan Island to Khao Sok National Park directly online to secure your preferred departure. Confirm the cancellation and change conditions shown for your specific fare at checkout, as these can differ between operators and ticket types on this route.
Travelling Back: Khao Sok National Park to Koh Phangan
If you are ending your trip at Khao Sok and heading back to the islands, you can book the return ferry and transfer from Khao Sok National Park to Koh Phangan. The onward journey mirrors this route, with road transport to the Surat Thani area followed by a ferry crossing back to Thong Sala Pier. Many travellers also use this same mainland connection point to reach Koh Samui or continue further along the Gulf of Thailand coast, so it is worth checking connecting routes if your itinerary includes more than one island.
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.

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.

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.
