You've got to Chumphon or Surat Thani, now what?

To Ko Tao you have three options, the Lomprayah high-speed catamaran (leaves Chumphon at 07:00 and 13:00) costing 450B and takes 90 minutes, and the Songserm and Ekawin Tours boats, both of which leave at 07:00, both costing 400B and take around 3 hours. The Lomprayah service is worth the extra money.

To Ko Pha Ngan, you need to go to Surat Thani (Don Sak approx. 45-60 Min. drive south of Suratthani!) from where Raja Ferry run four boats a day from Don Sak to Ko Pha Ngan and Songsern run one. There is also the night boat which leaves Surat Thani at 23:00 for Ko Pha Ngan (taking six hours). Note if you miss the 07:00 direct Songserm boat to Ko Pha Ngan, you may be able to go to Ko Samui, then grab an afternoon boat from there to Ko Pha Ngan.

To Ko Samui, there are ferries on the hour from Don Sak to Lipa Noi on Ko Samui and seven a day to Nathon -- these are all run by Raja Ferry. Seatran runs three ferries a day from Ban Don to Nathon on Ko Samui and Songserm run one a day (08:00) from Ban Don to Nathon.

The map below summarises the main ferry routes."

You cannot come from Chumpom by car or by motorbike. There is no car ferry for that !

On the other hand, of course you have the connections for a simple passengers from Chumpom to KPN

It's what I wanted to say

Car ferries to Phangan are operated by Racha Ferry, and leave from Donsak (1 hour from Surat Thani) every 2 hours starting at 6am until 6pm. The journey is approx 2 and a half hours. Their phone number is 077 471151 (Donsak) or 077 377452 (Phangan).

Although their website, raja ferry dot com, has a completely different timetable with only 5 sailings a day, perhaps they've moved to a low season timetable? Maybe give them a call.

first and last boat of the day are often full. plan to get to donsak at least an hour before the boat, more is better.
