Lomprayah High Speed Ferry to Koh TaoAbout travel to Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport
The easiest way to travel from Koh Tao to Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport is to take the direct daily service operated by the Lomprayah High Speed Ferry Service. The two alternatives to taking this fast direct service are:
- To take a ferry to Chumphon and then a bus or train south to Nakhon Si Thammarat.
- Or, to take a joint ferry and bus service to Surat Thani and then a bus or train south to Nakhon Si Thammarat.
The big advantage of taking the Lomprayah direct service is that it takes you direct to the airport. If you take a bus or train from either Chumphon or Surat Thani the arrival point will be either the main bus station, or Nakhon Si Thammarat Train Station, both of which are located around 17 km by road to the south of Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport. Public transport between Nakhon Si Thammarat City and Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport is scarce, so more likely than not you would need to take a private taxi from the city to the aiport which will add to the expense of the journey.

The journey with the Lomprayah High Speed Ferry Company from Koh Tao to Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport departs from Mae Haad Pier, which is just to the south of Sairee Beach and the most built up part of the island.
