Going from Koh Samui to Khao Lak? Our driver picks you up at Samui Airport or your hotel and takes you there in a private air-conditioned car. If the trip leaves the island, we drive onto the car ferry to Donsak together (about 1.5 h crossing, ticket included). It is about 280 km, roughly 5 h 45 min in total.
Khao Lak is one of the favourite beaches in Phang Nga & Khao Lak. One fixed price per car, not per person.
⛴ Leaving the island? The car ferry (Raja / Seatran, ~1.5 h) is included in the price; we plan pick-up around the sailing times.
Staying on in Phuket? For rides around there, our partners at Airport Transfer Phuket know every hotel and pier.
