Via Echo Travel, Baan Tai Pier
Echo Travel offers speedboat transfers from Baan Tai Pier on the south coast of Koh Phangan in Surat Thani province. The service connects travelers to the island and provides an alternative to the slower ferry services. Baan Tai Pier is a functional departure and arrival point and not a tourist attraction. It serves travelers moving between Koh Phangan and the neighboring islands or the mainland.
Travelers can expect a straightforward embarkation experience, typical of smaller island piers in the Gulf of Thailand. The speedboat service is operated by the transport company Echo Hostels, making it a convenient option for those already staying or booking through their network. The pier handles transfers quite efficiently, and thanks to the speedboats, travel times are significantly shorter than with traditional ferry crossings.
Booking in advance via the Echo Travel website is advisable, especially during peak season, such as the Full Moon Party weeks, when demand for island transport increases significantly. Passengers should arrive well before departure and travel light, as speedboats have limited luggage capacity compared to ferries. It is recommended to check the website directly for current schedules and prices, as these can vary depending on the season.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
