Dining tips

  • Book ahead for weekends, holidays and Full Moon events to secure table and preferred seating.
  • If you have allergies (seafood, nuts), notify the restaurant before arrival.

How to get to Koh Phangan (Boonsiri Ferry options)

Important: Book all relevant segments in advance — bus/coach seats, flights and ferry catamaran seats — especially during high season and Full Moon parties.

1) Bangkok → Coach (Boonsiri bus) from Pra Sumen Road → Donsak Pier → Boonsiri Catamaran

Boonsiri Ferry provides combined coach + ferry connections. You can board the coach in Bangkok (pick-up points such as Pra Sumen Road) that takes you to the pier for the catamaran to Koh Phangan.

  • Advantage: single-provider connection, less hassle with transfers.
  • Tip: depart early and allow buffer time for check-in at the pier.

2) Fly to Koh Samui → Boonsiri Ferry catamaran to Koh Phangan

Fly Bangkok → Koh Samui, then take Boonsiri’s Samui → Phangan ferry. This is fastest if you prefer air travel.

  • Tip: allow at least 1.5–2 hours between arrival and ferry departure to avoid missed connections.

3) Fly to Surat Thani (URT) → Boonsiri coach pickup → Donsak Pier → Ferry

If flying to Surat Thani, Boonsiri can provide coach transfers from the airport or city to the pier — then board the catamaran to Koh Phangan.

  • Tip: book combined transfer + ferry ticket with Boonsiri for a seamless journey.

Other routes (Hua Hin / Chumphon)

From Hua Hin or Chumphon you can drive or take public transport to the designated pier and connect with Boonsiri ferry services — plan times carefully to match ferry departures.
