Koh Samui ↔ Koh Phangan ferry and pier transfer
The trip, in short
The crossing itself is thirty minutes. The awkward parts are the two ends — getting to Bangrak or Big Buddha pier on Samui, and getting off Thong Sala pier into a songthaew that quotes you a tourist price.
One booking covers all three legs: a private vehicle to the pier, a reserved ferry seat, and a private vehicle waiting on the other side with your name on a board.
Highlights
- One booking, three legs
- Reserved ferry seat
- A driver holding your name at both piers

Who you are contracting with
We are the organiser of this service
OrganiserWe contract for this service as principal — it is operated by us, or by a local supplier engaged by us in our own name in Thailand. Your contract is with us, not with the driver, guide, captain or boat operator, and we carry the obligation to deliver it as described.
This service is performed in Thailand, by our Bangkok operation. Access Transit Express, registered in Indonesia, is the merchant of record for the payment: the charge, the invoice and any refund come from us, and your statement reads ACCESSTRANSITEXPRESS.
Our role, in fullCancellation & refunds
Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund to the card you paid with. Cancel later than that and the booking is non-refundable, because the vehicle, seat or greeter has already been committed.
- Refunds are issued within one business day and reach your card in 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
- If we cancel — weather, a marine department closure, a mechanical failure — you choose a new date or a full refund, whenever we cancel.
- No-shows and cancellations inside the window are not refundable. We will always try to move you to another date first.
Not sure this is the right trip?
Our Bangkok desk answers 24 hours a day, every day. Tell us who is travelling and what you want out of the day, and we will tell you honestly whether this is it.
