Frequently Asked Questions — Huahin to Koh Samui

How do I get from Hua Hin to Koh Samui?+

There is no direct ferry from Hua Hin to Koh Samui — the trip is a bus + catamaran combo. SmartEnPlus lists two operators running combined tickets: Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran and Boonsiri High Speed Catamaran.

Lomprayah departs Hua Hin Lomprayah Office at 08:30 daily, with a 3-4 hour bus ride (292 km) to Chumphon Thung Makham Noi Pier, then a high-speed catamaran to Pralarn Pier on Koh Samui. Total journey is about 9 hours, arriving Pralarn Pier at 17:30.

Boonsiri runs two daily departures from Hua Hin Clock Tower — 01:00 (overnight) and 08:00 — to Bangrak Pier on Koh Samui's north coast. Both services are JOIN bus+catamaran.

How much does it cost to travel from Hua Hin to Koh Samui?+

Floor price on the Hua Hin to Koh Samui route is 1,450 THB per adult, available with both Lomprayah (Economy) and Boonsiri. Lomprayah also offers a Business Class / VIP option at 1,750 THB for a more comfortable bus seat on the overland leg.

Children typically pay half the adult fare: 725 THB on both operators. Infants (under 2) ride free on Boonsiri at 0 THB. Lomprayah's Business Class fare does not list an infant tier.

Lomprayah's contract ends 2026-10-31 (within 30 days — re-check pricing for late October 2026 travel). Boonsiri's contract is stable through 2027-05-31.

Where does the bus and ferry from Hua Hin arrive on Koh Samui?+

SmartEnPlus services arrive at one of two piers on Koh Samui's north coast, depending on the operator. Lomprayah arrives at Pralarn Pier (also called Lomprayah Pier or Maenam Pier), at the far western end of Maenam beach — closest to the Maenam and Bophut areas.

Boonsiri arrives at Bangrak Pier (also called Seatran Pier), on Bangrak beach east of Maenam. Bangrak is the closest pier to Koh Samui Airport (USM), about 5 km away, making it the convenient choice if you're flying out the same day.

Both piers have taxis and songthaews available for onward travel anywhere on Koh Samui — no hotel drop-off is included in the SmartEnPlus ticket price.
