Thong Sala Pier

The island's main gateway by sea. Lomprayah and Seatran Discovery catamarans come in from Samui, Koh Tao and the mainland (Donsak and Surat Thani); Raja ferries from Donsak; Songserm boats from Samui and Koh Tao. Only Raja carries cars and scooters.

Songserm uses its own pier a couple of hundred metres north of the main one. The pier has the operators' ticket offices and a waiting area, and songthaews, the island's taxis, wait at the exit.

• Travelling with Songserm, check your ticket for the pier: the company has its own, further north
• The Raja ferry from Donsak takes about 2.5 hours
• Departures from the island are on 84280's ferries page
