Why book this route with us

084-709-3719

Door to the Ranong pier

We pick you up at your Bangkok address or the airport and drive straight to the pier the Koh Phayam boats leave from, with no coach or songthaew changes.

One fare per vehicle

฿11,700 for a Toyota Commuter (9–13 seats) or ฿23,300 for a Toyota Alphard (6–7 seats), one way, including driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water.

Koh Chang (Ranong) too

Boats to Koh Chang in Ranong leave from the same pier, so the van fare is the same.

Timed for your boat

Boats to Koh Phayam run several times a day and the last one leaves in the afternoon; tell us your boat and we plan the Bangkok pickup around it.

Rest stops on the way

On the long drive you can stop for a meal around Hua Hin, Chumphon or the Kra Isthmus; just tell the driver.

Return at the same price

Book the return from the Ranong pier to Bangkok or the airport at the same fare; the driver waits for your boat to dock.

Travel tips for this route

  1. The van stops at the pier and does not cross, because Koh Phayam has no cars; the boat is paid separately.
  2. Ranong is very wet from about May to October: fewer boats run and some places on the island close, so check before booking.
  3. The drive is 7–9.5 hours, so for an afternoon boat leave Bangkok before dawn.
  4. The island runs mostly on cash; withdraw money in Ranong town before the boat.
  5. Tell us your boat or boat company when booking so the driver takes you to the right pier.
  6. Book the return from the Ranong pier in advance; it costs the same as the outbound.

What's included

  • Professional driver who knows the route
