Practical tips
Book online rather than at the pier. Pier counters and hotel desks usually charge more.
Take a morning boat. You'll arrive in time for lunch with plenty of daylight left.
Pick the Laem Tong ferry if you're staying in the north. It saves a second boat transfer from Tonsai.
Keep small cash for the arrival fee at Tonsai Pier.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Going to Ao Nang when your ticket says Klong Jilad. The piers are in different places.
- Assuming the cheapest listed fare is always available. Discounts depend on the date and seat type.
- Arriving late in the afternoon. The last boats leave around 3pm.
- Comparing fares without checking pickup. Some include hotel transfers, others don't.
