Welcome to our Island Transfer Routes page — a complete overview of private taxi transfers to Thailand’s main island-access points, including Koh Chang routes, Ban Phe for Koh Samet, and key ferry pier connections.
This page is designed for travelers who need a smooth and direct transfer from Bangkok, Pattaya or airports to mainland ferry departure points and island routes. Private taxi is often the most convenient way to reach these locations without bus changes, unclear transfers or wasted time.
Most Popular Island Transfer Routes
These are the most frequently booked private transfers for island access in Thailand.
Koh Chang Transfer Routes
Private taxi to Koh Chang is one of the most popular long-distance island transfer services in Thailand. These routes typically include direct mainland travel to the Laem Ngop ferry area, most commonly via Ao Thammachat Pier, followed by ferry access to Koh Chang.
Most travelers know the route through Laem Ngop and Ao Thammachat Pier. Center Point is still widely recognized in older travel content, but current route planning should prioritize the active regular ferry access used for Koh Chang transfers.
Ban Phe and Koh Samet Transfer Routes
Ban Phe is the main mainland gateway for Koh Samet. Our private taxi transfers take passengers directly to the selected Ban Phe pier, where they continue by ferry or speedboat to the island.
Ban Phe includes several piers used for Koh Samet departures, including Municipality Pier, Ao Prao, Nuanthip, Tarua Phe, Chok Krista, Seree, Jadet and Sri Ban Phe.
Ferry Piers and Island Access Points
Island transfers often depend on reaching the correct mainland pier. That is why private taxi is especially useful for island travel: instead of arriving at a general bus stop, you can go directly to the right ferry or speedboat departure point.

- Direct transfer to the correct ferry pier
- No need to change buses or minivans
- Convenient with luggage and family travel
- Useful for long-distance island access routes
