- Raja Ferry Port Public Company Limited (RP.BK) provides ferry services for passengers and vehicles, as well as wharf operations and related trading activities, primarily in the Gulf of Thailand region of southern Thailand. The company operates a fleet of approximately 14 ferries across three main routes: Donsak-Koh Samui-Donsak; Donsak-Koh Phangan-Donsak; and Koh Samui-Koh Phangan-Koh Samui, offering up to 40 daily trips and accommodating cars, motorcycles, passengers, and cargo such as fresh fruits, vegetables, gas, and oil for private sector clients; it also maintains emergency safety equipment including life jackets and lifeboats that meet regulatory standards. Founded in 1981 and headquartered at 25/1 Village No. 8, Mittraphap Road, Don Sak District, Surat Thani 84220, Thailand, the company owns key ports at Donsak and Koh Samui, serving tourism, commercial transport, and logistics needs in Surat Thani province and surrounding islands including Koh Phaluai. In recent developments, Raja Ferry Port resumed electric vehicle (EV) ferry services to Koh Samui in February 2025 after a three-month safety upgrade hiatus, implementing specialized fire extinguishers, EV fire blankets, and crew training for twice-weekly sailings from Don Sak on Tuesdays and Saturdays to enhance eco-friendly transport options. The company continues to prioritize fleet safety and operational reliability amid growing tourism demand, with no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or reorganizations reported in the last 1-2 years.
