An e-foil session on Koh Samui costs between 2,000 THB for a half-hour intro and 13,000 THB for five hours of riding. The right choice depends less on your budget than on what you want from the board, so below we break down every option, what it works out at per hour and which one suits which kind of trip.

The Full E-Foil Price List
Every option below is taught by a Kite Club instructor on the water with you, and the board, impact vest and helmet are part of the price. The list is short on purpose: pick by how much riding time you want, not by a menu of add-ons.
| Option | Length | Price | Works Out At |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intro (first lesson) | 30 min | 2,000 THB | 2,000 THB per half hour |
| E-Foil Lesson | 60 min | 3,500 THB first · 3,000 THB repeat | 3,000–3,500 THB per hour |
| 5 × 30 min package | 5 sessions | 8,500 THB | 1,700 THB per half hour |
| Freedom package | 5 hours | 13,000 THB | 2,600 THB per hour |
| Drone video (add-on) | — | 1,000 THB · 2,000 THB edited | Optional |
Two things stand out once you do the maths. The packages bring the price per minute down noticeably, and the first 60-minute lesson costs more than a repeat because it carries the briefing and the beginner stages.
Three Realistic Budgets
The curious visitor (2,000–3,500 THB). You are on Samui for a few days, maybe staying in Chaweng or Bophut, and want to know what flying on water feels like. A single session is enough. If you can spare the time, take the hour rather than the half hour.
The week in Lamai or Nathon (6,500–8,500 THB). You are staying near the current spot and like the idea of improving over several mornings. A first lesson plus one repeat comes to 6,500 THB; the 5 × 30 min package at 8,500 THB gives you five shorter outings instead.
The committed learner (13,000 THB). You want to leave able to fly, turn and hold a steady height on your own. The Freedom package gives you five hours to build that, and it is the lowest hourly price we offer.
If you are unsure, start with one 60-minute lesson. You will know by the end of it whether e-foil is a one-off holiday highlight or something you want to keep doing, and you can decide on a package from there.
Where E-Foil Sits Against Our Other Activities
| Activity | Starting Price | Needs Wind? |
|---|---|---|
| E-Foil Intro | 2,000 THB / 30 min | No |
| Kitesurfing Discovery | 3,500 THB | Yes |
| Wing Foil Intro | 4,000 THB / 2 h | Yes |
| SUP rental | 400 THB / 1 h | No |
| Kayak rental | 500 THB / 1 h | No |
E-foil is not the cheapest thing you can do on the water, but it is the only foiling option at the club that does not wait for a breeze. That matters on Samui: the Lamai season from December to April brings the steadiest wind, peaking from January to March, while Nathon from May to October is more variable, and October–November is a light-wind transition. On a flat day the kite stays packed, and the e-foil goes out.
Calm mornings give the smoothest water for e-foil in both seasons. If your holiday falls in the October–November transition, or you are a kiter waiting for wind, an e-foil session is a good way to keep your days on the water.
What You Are Paying For
- Instructor time — a Kite Club instructor runs the briefing on the beach and stays with you on the water for the whole session.
- Equipment — the electric foilboard, battery and hand remote are provided and prepared before you arrive.
- Safety gear — impact vest and helmet are included and worn by every rider.
- A planned spot — sessions happen at our seasonal base, Lamai or Nathon, away from swimmers.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 30-minute Intro at 2,000 THB is the lowest entry price. It is a real taste of the board, but most beginners get more out of the 60-minute lesson at 3,500 THB because the extra time is when the board usually starts to lift.
Your first 60-minute lesson includes the full briefing and the beginner stages on the water. Once you know the board, a repeat 60-minute lesson costs 3,000 THB and more of the hour goes into actual riding.
If you want to ride confidently rather than just try it, yes. Five hours for 13,000 THB works out at 2,600 THB per hour, which is less than single lessons, and you can spread the hours across your stay.
No. The same prices apply at Lamai Beach (December to April) and at Nathon Beach (May to October). Only the meeting point changes with the season.
The board, impact vest, helmet and instructor are part of the session price. The only optional extra is drone video: 1,000 THB for the footage or 2,000 THB with editing.
