GENERAL INFORMATION
Pralan Pier, also known as Maenam Pier, serves as a vital ferry hub on Koh Samui’s northern coast. This port acts as the primary gateway for travelers heading to the Gulf of Thailand’s neighboring islands. Most importantly, high-speed ferries depart from here to connect Koh Samui with Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.
The pier sits in the peaceful Maenam area of Surat Thani. Many travelers prefer Pralan Pier because it offers a quieter experience than the island’s busier ports. Consequently, it is the perfect choice for those staying in Maenam or Bophut who wish to travel with Lomprayah.
Furthermore, visitors can enjoy beautiful views at the nearby Maenam Beach. Local cafes and shops also line the area, allowing you to relax before your boat departs.
DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL
Upon reaching Pralan Pier, you should head straight to the check-in counters. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before departure. If you booked online, simply show your e-voucher at the booth to collect your boarding pass.
At the entrance, helpful staff will guide you to the correct platform. Additionally, ferry operators provide staff to help carry and load your luggage onto the vessel. This organized system ensures a smooth start to your island trip.
