Thung Makham Noi Pier Information
About Thung Makham Noi Pier, Chumphon
Thung Makham Noi Pier (also referred to locally as Tha Reua Thung Makham Noi) is a ferry departure point on the Gulf of Thailand coast in Chumphon province, mainland Thailand. It serves as one of the main gateways from Chumphon to the Samui archipelago, with ferries running to Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui.
Thung Makham Noi Pier is a departure pier rather than a town centre, so most travellers arrive shortly before their sailing and board directly. Current routes and 5 destinations are shown in the live search on this site.
Ferry Routes from Thung Makham Noi Pier
Chumphon to Koh Tao
Koh Tao is the closest of the three islands to Thung Makham Noi Pier and one of the most common destinations for ferries leaving from here, popular with divers heading to Koh Tao's dive sites. Crossing times, sailing frequency and fares vary by operator and season, so check the Chumphon to Koh Tao ferry schedule for current departure times and prices before you book.

Chumphon to Koh Samui
For Koh Samui, ferries from Thung Makham Noi Pier are operated by Lomprayah and arrive at Maenam Pier on the island's north coast. Maenam Pier is Lomprayah's terminal on Koh Samui, so if you book a Lomprayah ferry from Thung Makham Noi Pier, this is where you'll land. Compare departure times and fares on the Chumphon to Koh Samui ferry schedule.
Return journeys to the mainland
The same corridors run in reverse, so you can plan the trip back with the Koh Phangan to Chumphon and Koh Samui to Chumphon schedules. If you are continuing south overland instead, see Chumphon to Surat Thani.
Booking Your Ferry from Thung Makham Noi Pier
Ticket prices, sailing times and seat availability change by operator, route and season, so use the live schedule and price search on this site rather than relying on fixed figures. Booking ahead is recommended during high season (roughly December to March) and around Full Moon Party dates, when seats to Koh Phangan can sell out quickly.
Services from this pier are run by Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd., and each operator sets its own vessel type, baggage allowance and change or cancellation conditions. Read the terms shown with your selected departure before paying.
Getting to Thung Makham Noi Pier
Most travellers reach Thung Makham Noi Pier by road from Chumphon town or Chumphon Railway Station. Some ferry operators include a transfer service with the ticket. Check your selected ferry route for pickup points and transfer details, since these vary by operator.
If you are arriving on an overnight train or bus, allow a buffer between your arrival in Chumphon and your sailing, as road transfers to the coast add time to the journey.
Facilities and Check-In
Facilities at the pier include onboard facilities. Amenities are limited compared with a large terminal, so bring water, snacks and any medication you need for the crossing.
Arrive in good time to exchange your booking confirmation for a boarding pass or sticker, and have your passport ready, as operators record passenger details. Large bags are usually loaded separately from the passenger cabin, so keep valuables, travel documents and electronics with you.

This standard bus option is typically used to link Lomprayah's ferry piers with nearby towns, transport hubs, or onward connections, making it a practical choice for travelers completing their journey beyond the ferry terminal.
What to Expect from the Lomprayah Standard Bus
The standard bus is an air-conditioned coach service designed to work smoothly with Lomprayah's ferry schedules. It is generally used as a connecting leg on combination tickets, so passengers can move between the pier and their final destination without arranging separate transport.

Schedules and Travel Times
Departure times and journey durations for the standard bus depend on the specific route and are coordinated with the connecting ferry crossing. Please refer to the live schedule and timetable shown during booking, as these details can change seasonally or due to operational adjustments.

Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co Ltd VIP Bus 24 Seats
The Lomprayah VIP Bus (24 seats) is a premium coach service operated by Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co Ltd, best known for its network of high-speed catamarans linking the Gulf of Thailand islands. This VIP bus is typically used as the overland leg of a combined bus-and-boat journey, connecting inland cities and airports with Lomprayah's ferry piers.
What to Expect on Board
With only 24 seats, the coach offers a smaller, more comfortable cabin layout than a standard full-size bus. Reduced seating generally means more legroom and a quieter ride, which suits travelers heading to onward ferry connections after a long overland stretch.
Comfort and Amenities
Exact onboard amenities can vary by vehicle and route, so we recommend checking the specific listing for this journey before booking. In general, VIP-class coaches in this network are air-conditioned and designed for longer intercity transfers.
Route and Ferry Connections
Lomprayah is widely used by travelers making their way to and from the Gulf islands, including Koh Tao ferry departures, as onward sailings often depart from the same pier the VIP bus arrives at. If your trip includes a boat crossing, allow enough time between the bus arrival and your ferry's scheduled departure.
Combined Bus and Boat Tickets
Many travelers book the VIP bus as part of a through-ticket that also covers the ferry leg, which can simplify planning and reduce the risk of missing a connection. Check your booking confirmation to see whether transfers between the bus and the pier are included.
Booking Your Lomprayah VIP Bus 24 Seats Ticket
Seat availability on the 24-seat VIP bus is limited compared to standard coaches, so booking ahead is recommended, especially during peak travel periods. Prices, schedules, and pick-up points depend on your specific route and travel date, so please confirm these details for your chosen journey before completing your booking.
