Slower and cheaper on the same crossing.
The season changes this. The northeast monsoon runs down the Gulf from November to February. These are the months the crossings are roughest and the occasional sailing is cancelled; from March to October the sea is usually easy. Book something you can move by a day if your dates sit in the rough months.
These times and fares are read off the operator's own published timetable, not an agent's. Gulf timetables change with the season and the sea, so confirm before you build a day around a departure. Last read on 2 October 2026, from Lomprayah's 2026 timetable (PDF) and Lomprayah.
