About Lomprayah
Founded in 1996, Lomprayah pioneered fast ferry travel in the Gulf of Thailand. Its smaller, faster catamarans load and unload quickly, and most crossings run from Lomprayah’s own dedicated piers. Joint tickets combine bus or van transfers with the catamaran, so you can travel from Bangkok, Chumphon or Surat Thani airports straight to the islands on one booking.
