Bangkok to Koh Samet
private transfer

⏱ ~2.5 hrs to Ban Phe pier 📍 220 km door-to-pier

Your driver meets you at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) / Don Mueang (DMK) arrivals — or collects you from any Bangkok hotel

The route

The Bangkok to Koh Samet transfer is a private door-to-pier drive from the airport or city to Ban Phe — the mainland pier where ferries and speedboats depart for the island. Your driver takes you straight to the pier; the onward boat to Koh Samet is bought separately at Ban Phe and is not included in the transfer price. A private car removes the guesswork of reaching the pier on time, and from there the regular ferries and speedboats run frequently across to one of the closest island escapes to Bangkok.
