Krabi and Koh Samui 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 3h 45m, and the operator times the van to meet the ferry.
1 more ticket includes a pick-up or bus connection to the pier, which saves arranging your own transfer.

Good to know before you go
Leaving Krabi
Krabi Town sits on a river estuary and is the province’s transport base, with an airport, a bus terminal and the main ferry port. Ferries to Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta leave from Klong Jilad, a few minutes from town, while speedboats use smaller piers along the coast.
If your ticket says “Krabi”, check whether the boat leaves from Klong Jilad or from Ao Nang. They are 30 minutes apart by road.
Arriving in Koh Samui
Koh Samui has its own airport and is the starting point for most trips to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. It has several piers, and the right one depends on the operator, so check the departure pier on your ticket, not just “Koh Samui”.
Bangrak and Maenam are 10–20 minutes from the airport; Nathon is on the far side of the island. Allow for traffic in Chaweng.
Weather and season
Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
