Your journey, arranged personally

Bangkok to Rayong & Koh Samet Pier Private Transfer

Book a Bangkok to Rayong private transfer with SPNJ Travel for a journey to your confirmed mainland hotel, address or Ban Phe pier. If you are continuing to Koh Samet, send your boat operator’s meeting details so the road transfer ends at the right departure point.
Bangkok to Rayong private transfer

Rayong or Koh Samet Pier to Bangkok, BKK or DMK

Private transfers are available in both directions. You can book a one-way journey from Rayong or Koh Samet Pier to your Bangkok hotel, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Don Mueang Airport (DMK), even if you did not book the outward journey with us. Send your pickup address, travel date, passenger count and luggage details. For an airport departure, include your flight number and departure time. We plan pickup around the road journey, possible traffic and your airline’s check-in requirements. Return journeys and any requested stops are quoted and confirmed separately. For a Koh Samet return, road pickup is at the agreed mainland pier in Ban Phe after your boat arrives. Share the operator, pier name and expected arrival time. The boat journey is separate unless expressly included in your quotation; allow for delays when connecting to a flight.

Pickup and drop-off arrangements

Bangkok hotel or address

Send your collection address, preferred pickup time, passenger count and luggage. If you have a boat booking, include the required check-in time before choosing the road departure.

BKK or DMK airport

Provide the airport, flight number and Thailand arrival date. We track arriving flights. Allow for immigration and baggage collection as well as road travel when planning an onward boat.

Rayong hotel or workplace

Rayong describes a province as well as a city. Send the exact hotel, district or business address, plus any entrance instructions. Coastal accommodation and industrial locations may require different routes.

Ban Phe pier for Koh Samet

Send the operator or resort’s named pier, map link and check-in instructions. Ban Phe has different departure arrangements; the words Koh Samet ferry do not identify the precise collection or drop-off point.

Journey time and planning

Allow approximately 2.5–3.5 hours from central Bangkok for a Rayong journey, or 3–4 hours to the Ban Phe area, as an initial guide. The district, traffic and stops affect the drive. For Koh Samet, add the boat operator’s check-in allowance, the crossing and any onward island transport. These are separate from the mainland road estimate.

Use your boat confirmation to identify the pier

Your hotel or boat operator may use a particular pier or passenger lounge. Forward those instructions when requesting the transfer. For the return, confirm where your boat arrives on the mainland; it may not be enough to give the island departure beach.

Where does a Koh Samet transfer end?

The road transfer on this page ends at the agreed mainland pier. Koh Samet is reached by boat, so a car transfer to Ban Phe is not the same as an island hotel drop-off. Boat tickets, island transport and any applicable park or pier fees are separate unless specifically included in your written quotation. If your resort supplies a boat transfer, use its current instructions rather than a general ferry timetable.

Choose a vehicle for your group and luggage

Count the bags travelling in the vehicle and check bulky items separately with your boat operator. Room in a minivan does not confirm a boat’s luggage allowance. Include pushchairs and any mobility equipment in both sets of arrangements.

Sedan

An option for solo travellers, couples or a small party when the passenger and luggage requirements fit the vehicle offered.

SUV

An option to consider for families or larger bags. Available luggage space depends on the seating arrangement, so send the full passenger and bag count.

Minivan

An option for families and groups travelling together. Confirm the number and size of suitcases alongside the passenger count.

Luxury minivan

Available on request. Ask about the seating layout and luggage allowance of the vehicle offered for your date.
Child seats are available on request. Send each child’s age, height and weight so the arrangement, availability and any charge can be confirmed before booking.

Your quotation and what is included

Request a quote using your exact addresses and travel details. The agreed road transfer includes:
  • A private vehicle and driver for your booking
  • Fuel, road tolls and parking
  • Pickup and drop-off at the locations confirmed in your quotation
  • Flight tracking for an airport arrival
Confirm boat tickets, pier or park fees, island transport and any extra waiting separately. Ferry or speedboat departures can change; do not rely on a tight road-to-boat connection without checking the operator’s current requirements.

The people arranging your journey

SPNJ Travel is a family business based in Bangkok. Our approach is shaped by family journeys between Europe and Asia, with attention to the details that matter when travelling with children and luggage. We ask for your actual pickup, destination and group details so the vehicle and quotation reflect your journey. Contact us on WhatsApp or at info@spnjtravel.com. Transfer times are agreed separately, subject to availability. Read our family story.

Booking and cancellation

For standard bookings, cancellation fees depend on the notice received before your scheduled pickup:
  • At least 48 hours: free cancellation.
  • 24 to less than 48 hours: 50% of the agreed booking fee.
  • Less than 24 hours: 60% of the agreed booking fee.
  • No-show: 100% of the agreed booking fee.
All deadlines use Bangkok time. Send cancellation requests by email, WhatsApp or LINE. Separate terms for multi-day journeys or specially reserved vehicles will be stated in your quotation and agreed before booking confirmation. Your booking confirmation sets out the total price, payment instructions and agreed journey details.

How to book

  1. Send your details. Include your travel date, pickup point and time, destination, passengers and luggage. Add flight details, child-seat needs and any requested stops or connections.
  2. Review the quotation. We check availability and confirm the vehicle, journey details and total price. Ask us to clarify inclusions, waiting, payment and cancellation terms before accepting.
  3. Confirm your booking. An enquiry alone does not reserve a vehicle. Review and accept the final details, then follow the booking instructions provided by SPNJ.

Frequently asked questions

Does the vehicle take us directly to our Koh Samet hotel?

This page offers road transport to your agreed mainland pier. The boat crossing and onward island journey are separate unless your written quotation explicitly includes them.

Which Ban Phe pier should we choose?

Use the named pier and map link provided by your boat operator or resort. Send those details to SPNJ before booking so the road drop-off matches your boat arrangement.

Are boat tickets included in the transfer price?

Do not assume they are. The quotation must state whether boat tickets or any other connection is included. Otherwise, arrange and pay for the boat separately.

Can we travel from BKK or DMK straight to the pier?

Airport pickup can be requested. Send your flight and boat details so the connection can be reviewed, allowing for airport formalities, road traffic and boat check-in.

Can you collect us after our return boat?

Yes, a mainland pickup can be requested subject to availability. Give the arrival pier, expected arrival time, boat details and onward address; confirm the waiting arrangement before booking.

Can we book a Rayong hotel transfer without going to Koh Samet?

Yes. Send the exact mainland hotel or address. We will quote for that destination rather than a pier transfer.

Request your Bangkok to Rayong private transfer

Send your travel date, collection point, destination, passengers and luggage. Include any flight or boat details and requested stops. We will check availability and prepare a quotation for your journey.
