Koh Tao ferry piers

Koh Tao ferry piers

Chumphon has several piers used by different ferry companies, such as Thung Makham Noi and Pak Nam Chumphon. Check which pier your return boat uses on your ticket and tell us when booking so the driver waits at the right one.

Thung Wua Laen Beach

Thung Wua Laen Beach

A long beach north of Chumphon town with resorts and seafood restaurants—a good place to spend a night after the boat before the long drive to Bangkok. We collect from your accommodation.

Prince Chumphon shrine at Hat Sai Ri

Prince Chumphon shrine at Hat Sai Ri

A seaside memorial to the prince revered as the father of the Thai navy, in the Pak Nam Chumphon area. A short stop to pay respects before setting off.

Why book this route with us

084-709-3719

Pier pickup timed to your boat

Send the ferry company, pier and sailing from Koh Tao and the driver waits at the pier for your arrival. If the boat changes or runs late, message us on LINE right away so we can re-coordinate.

Flat one-way fare per vehicle

฿9,000 for a Commuter or ฿19,000 for an Alphard per vehicle, including driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water—not priced per passenger.

Same fare as the outbound

Chumphon to Bangkok costs the same as Bangkok to Chumphon because we have vehicles based in the area, so no empty van has to drive down from Bangkok.

Room for backpacks and dive gear

Koh Tao trips usually end with big backpacks and dive equipment. The Commuter has a large rear space; tell us how many pieces you have so we can confirm it fits with your group.

Straight to your door or the airport

No coach or train followed by another taxi across Bangkok: we drop you at your home, hotel, or Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airport for the same fare.

Breaks on a long drive

This is a drive of several hours, so restroom and meal breaks along the way are part of the plan. For a specific sight such as Khao Wang in Phetchaburi, tell us when booking so the timing works.

Travel tips for this route

  1. If you can, choose a Koh Tao boat that reaches Chumphon in the morning or around midday so you arrive in Bangkok before late night. If your boat docks late in the afternoon, consider a night in Chumphon and an early start.
  2. For a flight from Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang on the same day as the boat, allow about 7 hours of driving plus time for boat delays and city traffic, and plan to reach the airport by the time your airline recommends—usually about 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one. If the timing is tight, fly the next day.
  3. In rough weather some sailings are cancelled or delayed. Check your ferry company's notices before travel day and message the team on LINE right away if your boat changes.
  4. Tell us how many backpacks, large bags and pieces of dive gear you have when booking so we can recommend the Commuter or the Alphard for your group.
  5. At around 7 hours, plan one or two breaks, for example around Prachuap Khiri Khan or Hua Hin, rather than driving straight through.
  6. Pack wet swimwear and gear in a dry bag, and keep medicines and essentials in your hand luggage, as big bags stay in the back for the whole drive.
