Frequently Asked Questions - Koh Samui to Bangkok Ferry

How long is a ferry ride from Koh Samui to Bangkok?

The distance between Koh Samui and Bangkok is approximately 525 km. While there is a ferry service available that connects Koh Samui to the mainland, there is no direct ferry from Koh Samui to Bangkok. Instead, you will need to continue your journey by bus. The travel time from Koh Samui to Bangkok is typically 12-15 hours, including the ferry and bus transfer.

This service usually operates on a limited schedule, so it's essential to check availability and book in advance.

Where does the ferry line connect Koh Samui with the mainland?

A ferry from Koh Samui travels to Chumphon, from where you must take a bus, train, or transfer to arrive in Bangkok. Ferry companies operating on this route usually offer combined tickets for both the ferry and the bus.

What's the best way to get from Koh Samui to Bangkok?

From our experience, the cheapest and easiest way to reach Bangkok from Koh Samui is by traveling via ferry and bus. It’s a long journey that takes approximately 12-15 hours, but both the ferry and bus are well-equipped and suitable for sleeping. You can expect to pay 28-32 euros for the combined ride.

Is 3 days enough in Koh Samui?

Three days is just enough to explore Thailand’s second-largest island. You can visit its spiritual and cultural sites, such as the Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, relax on its beautiful beaches like Chaweng and Lamai, and enjoy activities like snorkeling, island tours, and exploring local markets.

While a longer stay would allow for a more leisurely experience, three days can provide a satisfying glimpse of Koh Samui's diverse attractions.

Do you have any tips for this route?

Our tip is to travel at night using a ferry and bus combination. This option is much cheaper than others, and since it is a long journey, traveling overnight will save you the cost of one night's accommodation.

Keep in mind that the same companies operate both the ferry and the bus, so you don't have to worry about missing your connection, as it is guaranteed.
