Construction of the cruise terminal on Thailand’s Koh Samui will start in 2029, according to Manaporn Charoensri, deputy transport minister.
The Marine Department has studied and developed a project for a cruise terminal at Laem Hin Khom with a total investment value of over 12 billion baht, she said.
The project is aiming to boost provincial and national revenue and elevate cruise tourism at Koh Samui, which already sees significant cruise traffic.
Surveys indicate that the Laem Hin Khom area in Taling Ngam Subdistrict is the most suitable location, offering natural wave protection, proximity to deep-water zones, and sufficient space for port development.
The project is expected to be proposed to the Cabinet for approval this year, with construction beginning in 2029 and the terminal opening in 2032.
