evadgib Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I've seem 'chicken chasers' being carried on seatran and lompriah. Your best bet would be to enquire at their offices. HTH Edited May 12, 2014 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've seem 'chicken chasers' being carried on seatran and lompriah. Your best bet would be to enquire at their offices. HTH yes seen this on occasion too...although wondered if it was employee bikes.... go ask.... ! .... So long as the bike can fit up the ramp, you might be OK.... otherwise, it's a trip via Donsak,.... I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serge555 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 This is crazy to go via Donsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This is crazy to go via Donsak much better than going via Chumpon Most boats from KPN to K Tao are foot passenger ferries. They are not designed for larger goods/vehicles. Goods and vehicles are transported from Donsak or Chumpon. Or - rent a boat? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samui Coconut Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This is crazy to go via Donsak If you ask them nicely ($) I am sure everything can be arranged.....I saw on a few occasions bikes on the Seatran ferry (from Samui to Tao), even bigger things, but not sure if they belonged to employees or else. Go to the office in Phangan and ask them nicely. From Samui it would be easier as you could load the bike early (say by 7am) as boarding usually starts at 7.30. Having said that, sometimes the ferry is parked against another ferry, meaning that you need to go through the first ferry to get to the one departing. May be the 13.30pm departure will be easier. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentReader Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I know of a cargo boat that runs from Samui(Nathon - Seatran pier) to Koh Tao and I assume it makes a stop at Phangan on the way. I have seen motorbikes being loaded onto the top deck several times. Both of these sites indicate a sort of schedule for a cargo boat: http://kohtao.sawadee.com/kohtao_transfer.html http://www.kohtaocenter.com/kohtao/time.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
