Book Phantip Travel Coach Tickets Online

Phantip Travel is based in Surat Thani and sells combined bus and boat tickets — one booking covers both the road leg and the crossing, so there is no separate queue for a boat ticket at the pier.

Main routes: Surat Thani – Koh Samui, Surat Thani – Koh Phangan, Surat Thani – Koh Phi Phi and Surat Thani – Khao Sok. Pick-ups at Surat Thani Airport and Surat Thani railway station let you connect straight off a flight or train without going into town first.

The road leg uses 3 vehicle types, depending on route and passenger numbers:

1. Air-con coach
2. Air-con minibus
3. Air-con van

The crossing then continues by boat, with Don Sak as the main pier. The advantage of a through ticket is that road and sailing times are already matched, which cuts the risk of missing your boat.

Allow at least an hour after your flight or train arrives, and keep essentials in a small bag you can carry onto the boat.
