Ban Phe serves as the primary gateway to Koh Samet, with three main pier areas handling different ferry operators and speedboat services. The municipal Nuanthip Pier operates government ferries with fixed schedules, while nearby private operators run faster speedboats throughout the day. We drop you directly at your requested pier based on your hotel location on Koh Samet or your preferred ferry operator. If you haven't pre-booked island accommodation, our drivers can recommend which pier serves your destination beach best and provide current ferry schedule information, ensuring you take the most efficient route to your final island destination.
