Koh Samui – Bangrak (Big Buddha) piers

Bangrak, near the Big Buddha in north-east Samui, has the busiest departures to Koh Phangan. Lomprayah, Boonsiri, Seatran and Songserm (Petcherat Pier) boats leave for Thong Sala and Koh Tao, and the Haadrin Queen sails direct to Haad Rin. The operators use separate piers along the bay, so check the pier on your ticket.

  • Haadrin Queen ferries and speedboats leave for Haad Rin at 10:30, 15:00, 17:00 and 18:30
  • Lomprayah and Boonsiri sell van transfers from Samui airport to their Bangrak departures
