Nathon Pier
The Nathon Pier mainly serves the Seatran and Lomprayah ferry companies. There's a ferry departing for Donsak every hour between 5 am and 7 pm. Located on the west coast of Koh Samui, Nathon is the capital town of Koh Samui. It hosts all the official administration offices, as well as the main ferry pier on the island.
Samui's Nathon Pier comprises 3 jetties, 2 of which serve different ferry companies. The northern jetty is used by Seatran, while the central bridge – the largest and oldest jetty – is used by Lomprayah. The rather small southern jetty is usually used by fishing and long-tail boats. The 2 bridges dedicated to ferries have large waiting rooms to comfortably accommodate passengers.

Lipa Noi Pier
Lipa Noi Pier is just north of Taling Ngam, on the west coast of Koh Samui. It's also known as Raja Ferry Pier, which is the name of the company that operates ferries from this pier. Ferries depart to Donsak Pier on the mainland every hour between 5 am and 6 pm.
The location of Lipa Noi Pier is slightly off the Ring Road, which makes it less easy to reach. Taxis from and to this pier are usually more expensive than other piers in Koh Samui.

Donsak ferry Piers
Donsak has two ferry piers that serve Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, Seatran Ferry at Donsak Pier and Raja Ferry Port. Donsak Pier, some 40 km south of Surat Thani, is the port of exit for many travelers to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. As you enter the pier, you'll come across a large car park where vehicles queue. Passengers align here to purchase tickets at the booths in the terminus.
The terminus itself is where travellers can grab a meal, shop for snacks, withdraw cash from one of the several ATMs, and generally relax in front of a TV while waiting for their ferry to arrive. You can shop for snacks and drinks in the convenience store or wait in the central area, which is equipped with benches.
