About Chantara Junk Boat
Chantara Junk Boat offers full-day cruises from Koh Samui aboard a traditional Burmese-style wooden junk boat. The experience combines scenic sailing across the Gulf of Thailand with a freshly prepared Thai buffet served on deck, snorkelling, beach time and a sunset journey back to Samui. Excursions commonly travel towards Koh Phangan, with stops for swimming and relaxing at beaches and secluded bays. The boat provides indoor and outdoor seating, toilets, towels and a pay bar, creating a spacious setting for couples, families and groups who want a leisurely day on the water rather than a fast ferry crossing.
