KOH TAO - HOW TO GET HERE

TRAIN
Coming from Bangkok, by far the best way to get to Koh Tao is by overnight sleeper train and speed ferry. In Bangkok you need to catch the last train at 7.00pm to Chumphon, which will arrive in time for the ferry.

The train station in Bangkok is called "Sa-tarnee Hwalumpong" and any taxi will be able to take you there. Tickets can be bought at the station and it's advisable to arrive a couple of hours before.

There is a tourist information desk at the entrance. The guys there speak excellent English and will be happy to help you organise your tickets. This is a free service.

On arrival in Chumphon at around 6.30am, there are several operators who have offices directly on the platform. From here you can take a free transfer to the pier as well as organise tickets. The ferries services start at 7.00am and the crossing takes just over two hours.

Alternatively, you can book joint bus+boat tickets online at: http://www.lomprayah.com

AIR
Flights from BKK to Koh Samui leave 10 times daily. The flight takes just over an hour and then from Koh Samui it's just a short boat ride to Koh Tao.

*
Please note that in order to catch the boats the same day you will need to depart from BKK no later than 11.00am. This allows you to catch either the Lomprayah Catarmaran at 12.30pm or the Sea Tran Service at 1.30pm.

Tickets and transfers to the pier can be organised inside Samui Airport.
