If you arrive at Surat Thani train station after 16.00 you are unlikely to be able to catch one of the ferry services from Donsak, you will however still have time to catch one of the ‘night boats’ which leave from Surat Thani town centre to each of the three islands late in the evening and travel slowly overnight.
