How to get there :

By Bus : Booking Your Ferry and Buses Upon arrival in Bangkok and throughout Thailand there are many travel agencies where combined bus and boat tickets, or train, bus & boat tickets can be purchased for connections to Koh Phangan. If you are flying to Koh Samui please insist that you require a boat to Thongsala on Koh Phangan or a Catamaran with Lomprayah Ferry Company from Mae Nam to Thongsala and this will save a lot of time and trouble.

By Plane : From Surat Thani Airport Surat Thani airport in used by several airlines including Thai Airways, Air Asia and Nok Air. It is a 75 minute flight from Bangkok. From Koh Samui Airport Flights to Koh Samui are via Bangkok Air or Thai Airways and can be direct from other countries as it is an international airport.

By Boat : From Koh Samui The airport is located just 5 minutes by taxi to Mae Nam beach where a short 20 minute Catamaran journey can be taken to Thongsala on Koh Phangan. This is using the Lomprayah ferry company and costs 250 Baht per person. There are boats at 08.00, 12.30 and 17.30. Ferries There are also many ferries from Samui which take about one hour. Ferry companies include Seatran Discovery, Songserm and the Haad Rin Queen . Important Information if Traveling from Koh Samui Please do not use the Samui to Haad Rin ferry service as resorts outside of Haad Rin are not allowed to collect from Haad Rin. Phangan Island is regulated for Taxis and pick up is only allowed from Thongsala. If you do arrive via Haad Rin then you will need to make your own way by Taxi to Thongsala. This will also delay your arrival at the resort and cost a lot more in transportation. The Island is regulated for Taxis and so not all resorts can collect from both Haad Rin although most can collect from Thongsala. It is therefore best for guests staying on the Haad Rin peninsula (Haad Rin or Leela Beaches) to take the ferry direct to Haad Rin. For guests staying elsewhere on the Island it is best to travel to Thongsala. From Surat Thani Airport There are connections by bus and boat from the airport to Koh Phangan (from the port of Don Sak) and these tickets can be purchased in advance from a travel operator or at the airport or indeed at most travel agencies in Thailand. It takes about 90 minutes from the airport to the ferry terminal and then it is a 2 hour 30 minutes journey to Koh Phangan by sea. Train Surat Thani can also be reached by train or bus. The train station is at Phun Phin located just outside the city and the bus station is in central Surat Thani. Connections to Koh Phangan are available at both locations. Ferry from Don Sak Ferry companies include Songserm and Raja Ferry. These boats are regular with at least one boat every hour from 08.00 – 18.30 every day. The boats leave from Don Sak which is just outside Surat Thani and the transfer to Don Sak is included within your ticket cost from either the airport or the railway station when buying a combined ticket.
