Laemsor Ferry

Operated by Lomprayah High Speed Ferries on the route

For travellers who value comfort and stability over speed, the Lomprayah Laemsor ferry offers a relaxed and enjoyable way to cross the Gulf of Thailand, connecting popular destinations such as Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. At 35 metres in length, this sleek and modern vessel has been designed to make the journey as comfortable as the destination. With spacious air-conditioned indoor seating as well as an open-air upper deck, passengers can choose between a cool, quiet ride or panoramic views of the ocean, complete with fresh breezes and sunshine. Onboard, a small café serves light refreshments, including crisps, sandwiches, and chilled drinks, making it easy to enjoy a snack or a drink along the way. Restrooms are available for convenience, and Lomprayah’s attentive staff ensure a seamless experience by assisting with the loading and unloading of luggage. The ferry itself is built with stability in mind, gliding smoothly over the waters of the Gulf and offering a far calmer ride than speedboats or smaller catamarans, particularly in windy conditions or choppy seas. While the Laemsor ferry is slower than Lomprayah’s high-speed catamarans, its smooth and steady pace makes the journey part of the adventure rather than a rush to the finish. The open-air deck provides fantastic photo opportunities, though passengers should be prepared for a little sun and wind exposure. Seating is comfortable and modern, but during busy island-hopping routes it may not always be possible to sit in pairs or groups immediately after boarding. For those heading to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, or Koh Tao who prefer a hassle-free, comfortable, and scenic voyage through the Gulf of Thailand, the Lomprayah Laemsor ferry is the perfect choice — a travel experience designed to let you sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the ride.
