      Frequently Asked Questions - Koh Samui to Don Sak Ferry


      How long is the ferry from Samui to Donsak?

      The ferry ride from Koh Samui to Donsak typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, though the exact duration can vary depending on the ferry operator and sea conditions. 

      Some ferries may take a bit longer if they stop at other islands or encounter rough seas. 

      Where does the ferry leave from Koh Samui?

      Ferries to Donsak leave from two main piers on Koh Samui: Nathon Pier and Lipa Noi Pier

      Nathon Pier is the main port and has more frequent ferry departures, making it the busiest option. 

      Lipa Noi Pier is a bit further from the main tourist areas but offers a quieter departure point, often used for larger vehicles or passengers looking for a more peaceful journey. Both piers have multiple daily departures, making it convenient for travelers.

      Can you island hop from Koh Samui?

      Yes, Koh Samui is an excellent base for island hopping in the Gulf of Thailand. You can easily take ferries to nearby islands such as Koh Phangan (famous for its Full Moon Party), Koh Tao (a diving paradise), and the beautiful Ang Thong National Marine Park, which is perfect for day trips. 

      These islands are well-connected by regular ferry services, making it easy to explore the region's stunning natural beauty.

      How many days are enough for Koh Samui?

      For a well-rounded experience on Koh Samui, most travelers find that 3 to 4 days is enough time to visit the island’s main beaches, explore temples like the Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, and enjoy the nightlife in Chaweng or Lamai

      However, if you want a more relaxed stay or wish to explore nearby islands and take a part in activities like diving, snorkeling, or hiking, a longer stay of 5 to 7 days is recommended to fully appreciate everything that island has to offer.

      Which month is best for Samui?

      The best time to visit Koh Samui is during the dry season, from December to April, when the weather is warm, sunny, and perfect for beach activities, snorkeling, and exploring the island. 

      During these months, rainfall is minimal, and the sea conditions are calm, ideal for ferry rides and water sports. While May to October is the monsoon season, with increased rainfall and rougher seas, you may still find quieter and more affordable options.
