New Body & Mind

Via Lipa Noi Pier

This is merely a transit point, and it's advisable to be aware of this upon arrival. Ferries depart from here to Don Sak on the mainland of Surat Thani. From there, you can reach your destination in southern Thailand by bus and train. If you are leaving Samui by land rather than by plane, you will most likely arrive at this pier.

The facilities are basic and the atmosphere functional. It gets very crowded on holidays and during peak season, with long queues for vehicles and pedestrians forming well before departure. The advantage of its westerly location is the view across the Gulf when setting sail, although nobody comes here for the scenery. Allow plenty of extra time, especially if you have luggage, because missing a ferry means a long wait for the next one.

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.
