Ferry Services to Koh Tao
At the present time there are several ferry services a day from piers in Chumphon Province to Koh Tao. Lomprayah High Speed Ferry Company operates ferries departing at 07:00 and 13:00. There are also various night boat services which depart at 23:00 and take around 6 hours to reach Koh Tao.
Lomprayah High Speed Ferry
The best, and most expensive ferry service is the Lomprayah High Speed Ferry which completes the sea crossing in 1 hour 45 minutes.
Night Boat Services
Night boat services are converted cargo ships or fishing boats fitted out with mattresses inside. Like the night boat services operating from Surat Thani, night boats from Koh Tao are not particularly comfortable and unsuitable for families, although younger travellers on a tight budget may find that taking the night boat is the best option for them.
