How to get from Phangan Island to Khao Sok National Park

Getting from Koh Phangan to Khao Sok National Park
Travelling between Phangan Island and Khao Sok National Park means combining a ferry crossing with an overland transfer, since Khao Sok National Park sits inland in Surat Thani province rather than on the coast. Most travellers leave from Thong Sala Pier on Koh Phangan, cross to the mainland at Surat Thani or Don Sak Pier, and continue by road to the park. The reverse journey follows the same route in the opposite direction.
Route Overview: Phangan Island to Khao Sok National Park
This route is typically sold as a combined boat-and-bus ticket, so you book one ticket and the connection between ferry and vehicle is arranged for you. The journey takes about 1 minutes, with 5 available depending on the day and season. Always check the exact departure time shown at booking, since ferry and bus connections through Surat Thani can shift with tides, road conditions, and the operator's own timetable.
Operators and Onboard Comfort
Lomprayah High Speed Ferries Co., Ltd. and Phantip 1970 Co., Ltd operates this connection, using a several transport options for the leg between Koh Phangan and the Surat Thani mainland before transferring passengers to road transport bound for Khao Sok. Onboard facilities include onboard facilities, making the crossing comfortable even with luggage for a national park stay. Khao Sok itself is well known for its rainforest trekking, Cheow Lan Lake, and limestone karst scenery, so most travellers are arriving for a multi-day stay rather than a day trip.

Fares for this route start from ฿810. Prices can vary by operator, travel class, and season, so use the live fare shown at checkout for the date you plan to travel rather than a fixed figure.

Travelling Back: Khao Sok National Park to Koh Phangan
If you are ending your trip at Khao Sok and heading back to the islands, you can book the return ferry and transfer from Khao Sok National Park to Koh Phangan. The onward journey mirrors this route, with road transport to the Surat Thani area followed by a ferry crossing back to Thong Sala Pier. Many travellers also use this same mainland connection point to reach Koh Samui or continue further along the Gulf of Thailand coast, so it is worth checking connecting routes if your itinerary includes more than one island.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
