Travelling on the Koh Tao to Chumphon ferry you have a choice of the fast high-speed
Lompraya boats
or you can choose to go on a much slower overnight boat that arrives in the early hours of the morning.
The high speed Lomprayah boats (catamarans) depart from Mae Haad Pier and arrive at Thung Makham Noi Pier which is located approximately 27 km from Chumphon Railway Station.
From the jetty in
Thung Makham
you can pay a little extra and take the
Lomprayah
minivan / bus service that meets the ferry and takes you to Chumphon city centre just in front of the Chumphon Railway Station.
