Don Sak pier
The ferry port for boats from Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, east of Surat Thani town. Coming off the ferry and heading to Phuket? Send the ferry company and sailing time; the team quotes this pickup for you to confirm before booking. Ferry fares are not included.
Surat Thani town and San Chao market
A riverside city on the Tapi River. San Chao market is the evening food market in the centre—good for southern Thai food if you stay overnight before a morning pickup at your hotel.
Cheow Lan Lake (Ratchaprapha Dam)
A lake among limestone peaks in Ban Ta Khun district, a detour off Highway 401. Boat tours and raft stays are booked separately; tell us when booking if you want a stop or a pier pickup so the timing and fare can be confirmed.
Khao Sok National Park headquarters
The start of the park's jungle trails and waterfalls near Khao Sok village, not far from Highway 401 and roughly halfway to Phuket—a good place for a meal break. Check the park fee and opening hours before going in.
Takua Pa Old Town
The old tin-mining town with Sino-Portuguese shophouses, near where Highway 401 reaches the Andaman side; a short walk is enough to see it.
Khao Lak Beach
A long Andaman beach in Phang Nga on the last part of the route—stretch your legs by the sea or have a meal before crossing to Phuket.
Pickup at the airport, station or hotel
We collect you at Surat Thani Airport (URT), Surat Thani railway station in Phunphin or your hotel in town. Send your flight or train number and the pickup is set around your arrival.
Flat one-way fare per vehicle
฿8,000 for a Commuter or ฿16,000 for an Alphard, including driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water—not priced per passenger.
Phuket Airport or any Phuket hotel
Drop-off at Phuket Airport (HKT) or your hotel or villa in Phuket. Flying on? Send the flight time and we plan the departure with room for check-in.
Via Khao Sok, Takua Pa and Khao Lak
The route crosses the hills on Highway 401 past Khao Sok, comes down to Takua Pa, follows the Phang Nga coast past Khao Lak and reaches Phuket over the Thao Thep Kasattri–Thao Si Sunthon bridges.
Same fare as the outbound trip
We keep vans at both ends, so Surat Thani to Phuket costs the same as Phuket to Surat Thani—no waiting for a car to drive over empty.
The right vehicle for your group
The Commuter seats 9–13 and suits large groups with more luggage; the Alphard has 6–7 captain seats for families wanting extra comfort on a long drive.
