vieseng Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I am with my family which has small kids now stuck in Racha Ferry Pier at Koh Phangan . The ferry workers very rude to scold us and ask us wait with NOT SURE excuse to leaving by TODAY . In fact we here at 8am to wait for 10am ferry . Now they saying must book ticket 2days ago . But won't be sure have ticket on ferry after 2 days . This is very bad experiences ! And we still stuck here ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Songserm and Seatran both have car ferry.... all close by.... I would try and choose Seatran over Songserm. Advanced booking would have probably been better, especially as someone pointed out above, it's Chinese New year period ... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shafty Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 We have the own car . That's impossible to leave with speed boat This problem exists for everyone who wants to use Raja with a vehicle. You have to come early and put your car in the line to get on the ferry. 8AM for 10AM ferry was likely too late after chinese new year. This is a Raja Issue and not a Koh Phangan issue, the same situation on Samui and in Don Sak. <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Songserm and Seatran both have car ferry.... all close by....

No. You cane buy ferry tickets with Raja ferry online, which many with vehicles do to ensure a space. yes... 3 days ahead if want to go with vehicle.

Songserm and Seatran have car ferries KPG to Don Sak, really? My bad on that, for people with vehicles, I based it on seeing vehicles lined up on the other jetty / pier... Songserm having a disgustingly dirty area... (litter) It's been a few years since I went from KP to the mainland... from what I remember which ever ferry it was .... goes further than Donsak, and lands a bit closer to Surrat City. The High speed ones are a different pier... Samui has a few more choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online booking is now just 2 days ahead (day after tomorrow) and when coming from Donsak you jump to the head of the queue (first car on the boat). You only need a credit card and e-mail address to book online. Raja is a real problem at the moment with only 5 boats a day all the sailings get full fast, in low season arriving at Donsak without a booking can mean waiting for 3 boats. In the lead up to Christmas/New Years Makro/Tesco and Big C had all the trucks bringing food over stuck in the queue overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango66 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 That's the point why we so mad now . Yet we didn't scold for anything just ask for ticket by leaving TODAY . But they say NOT SURE by today !!! you still not got it ?? The ferry might be fully booked, but you got a chance, wait and if seems ok, they will allow you to board !! Why you didn't buy your ticket in time ? this is not KPG or ferry operators fault !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
