Donsak Raja Ferry Port

Donsak Raja Ferry Port is the operational base for the Raja Ferry Company which operates car ferry services from Donsak to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Raja Ferry services are slow but very reliable, with the car ferry able to operate in almost all weather conditions; when the other ferry services to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan can’t run because of big waves and strong wind the Raja Car Ferry normally can. The Raja Car Ferry is also the cheapest service to Koh Phangan and the joint cheapest service from the mainland to Koh Samui.

Donsak Raja Ferry Port has recently been renovated and now features a large toilet block, a cafe, a restaurant and a small shop. The ferry port is in a beautiful location looking across Nam Kang Beach. There are a few places to stay within walking distance of the ferry port and some very small shops, however, few people choose to stay here overnight by choice and there is little need to do so with ferry services to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan departing from 06:00 to 19:30 every day of the year. If you are using the Raja Ferry bus service to reach another destination in Donsak, or near to Donsak, ask to be dropped off on the main road before the bus drives down the approach road to the ferry port itself.
