Timetable and season of the Pattaya to Koh Samet ferry

Sailing times on the Pattaya to Koh Samet route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule ferries every 1-2 hours from Ban Phe; we time the car to the boat. Morning departures are normally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection.

Departure: Pattaya hotel pickup, then Ban Phe pier

The ferry from Pattaya to Koh Samet leaves from Pattaya hotel pickup, then Ban Phe pier, in Pattaya - Pattaya is the beach city on the Gulf coast two hours from Bangkok, with Coral Island, the Sanctuary of Truth and family theme parks. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: There is no train worth using from either airport: Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao have coaches and shared minivans to Pattaya bus stations that then need a baht bus or taxi to the hotel, which can take twice as long with luggage; a private car goes straight to the hotel door in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours from Bangkok, or about 45 minutes to 1 hour from U-Tapao.

• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Pattaya hotel pickup, then Ban Phe pier; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Pattaya to the port on request
• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
