Frequently asked questions
What if I miss my booked departure?
Most operators allow same-day rebooking onto the next available service for a small fee. Refunds are harder if you no-show. Call the operator or message via LINE as soon as you know to retain options.
Are foreign cards accepted?
Most online booking platforms accept foreign cards with a small fee. At physical counters Thai cash or QR is faster. ATM nearby for cash withdrawal if needed.
Where do I buy tickets?
Official counter is the primary option for cash purchases. Online platforms like 12go.asia handle most routes for foreign-card purchases. Avoid touts outside the official terminal who add commission.
