Ko Phangan Travelling Koh Phangan to Samui-please help?
Posted: Wed November 21, 2007 08:27 PM UTC
I am planning to be in Koh Phangan in Decemeber 2007.
i have heard that sometimes the water can be very choppy in regards to travelling from one island to the other& wanted some tips on getting from Phangan to Koh Samui.
does anyone know a suggested boat company that goes from Koh Phangan to Samui at that time of the year? and if so, how many times a day do the boats depart?
do the trips need to be booked in advance or can tickets for the boat be bought on the day?
any advice is greatly received..thanks!

You can get to Koh Phangan by ferry at Bo Phut Pier Samui.They go through out the day so you don't need to book.The fare is around 90 baht.The ferry are not smallpeple often take cars across so choopy sea would not be a problem.There are a number of ferry company you can choose from.Seatran ferry ,Raja ferry and Lomphrayah speed catamaran are all vey good.

During the monsoon season, it can be very choppy. However frm Phangan to Samui is very near I think less than 30 mins depending on which boat u take. The last time I took the Lomparayah Catamaran frm Koh tao to samui. Website :http://www.lomprayah.com/

I was also told during high sea, only ferry that moves are Lomprayah, the rest stop service coz its very dangerous.

U may book online, but I think its better to book once u r there in case some change of plans.
