Koh Phangan and Ao Nang are on opposite coasts of the Thai peninsula, so there is no direct sea route. These tickets combine a road transfer across the peninsula with a boat, usually via the Donsak or Surat Thani piers for the Gulf islands, and the times shown are for the whole trip door to door. Expect most of a day: the quickest listed takes 10h 30m, and the operator times the van to meet the ferry.

Good to know before you go
Leaving Koh Phangan
Koh Phangan is a big, hilly island between Samui and Tao. It is known for the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin, but most of the island is quiet beaches and jungle. Nearly every ferry docks at Thong Sala on the west coast.
Around Full Moon Party dates, boats from Samui sell out and run extra late sailings. Book ahead and keep your return ticket handy.
Arriving in Ao Nang
Ao Nang is the busiest beach town on the Krabi coast and the easiest place to stay if you want boats to Railay, Koh Phi Phi and the Hong islands. Ferries leave from Nopparat Thara Pier at the western end of the beach, and longtail boats to Railay leave straight from the sand.
Most Ao Nang tickets include a free shared pick-up from your hotel to Nopparat Thara. Be in the lobby 30 minutes before the time on the ticket.
Weather and season
Weather runs to a different clock from the Andaman: the Gulf is usually calmest from February to August. Expect rain and rougher crossings from October to December.
