Seatran Ferry Service Alert: Low Tide Impact on Don Sak to Nathon Route (June-August 2025)

Planning a trip to Koh Samui via Seatran Ferry? Be aware of potential schedule disruptions due to low tides affecting the Don Sak (Khanom) to Nathon (Koh Samui) route during June, July, and August 2025.

Why Are Ferries Affected by Low Tide?

During these months, exceptionally low tides may cause water levels to drop significantly, making it unsafe for ferries to operate at certain times. When the water is too shallow:

• Ferry services may be temporarily suspended

• Delays or cancellations can occur

• Normal operations resume once water levels rise

What Travelers Should Know

• Check schedules in advance – Seatran may adjust departure times based on tidal conditions.

• Allow extra time – Delays are possible, so plan your journey with flexibility.

• Monitor updates – Follow Seatran’s official announcements for real-time changes.

How to Stay Informed

• Visit Seatran Ferry’s official website for updates.

• Contact their customer service for the latest schedule adjustments.

• Follow Seatran’s social media channels for urgent notifications.

Alternative Options if Ferries Are Cancelled

If your ferry is delayed or canceled, consider:

• Taking an earlier or later ferry (if available)

• Checking other ferry operators (Raja Ferry, Lomprayah)

• Flying into Samui Airport (USM) if time-sensitive

Final Tips for Smooth Travel

✔ Book tickets in advance during peak season.
✔ Arrive early at the pier to avoid last-minute rushes.
✔ Keep travel insurance for unexpected disruptions.
