Ko Tao Travel Forum

we will be arriving in the afternoon in koh samui. will missed the afternoon ferry to ko tao. we din't want to stay a night in koh samui. is there any private ferry can transfer us to ko tao. the dive centre in ko tao quote us 30,000 bath(one way)to transfer us.we think its too expensive. we won't mind going to ko phangan first if is cheaper

It's a rip off 30,000bht is about £500 spend the night on Koh Samui and travel the next day to Koh Samui and if your dive centre in Koh Tao quoted this price then i recommend you find another dive centre.

A complete RIP OFF.

Sorry i meant travel to Koh Tao.

well when you consider it takes at least two hours to get from koh tao to samui thats 4 hours return. its not such a bad price when you consider fuel costs and the cost of a driver just to pick up 2 people. they probably just dont want to do it and gave you that price because they knew you would say no.

why dont you stay at shambala beach bungalows at big buddah beach for the night
(its quite close to the airportand very inexpensive.) the next day book the lomprayah ferry to koh tao, they will pick you up at shambalah and take you to the lomprayah jetty on samui.

we will put up a nite at ko phangan since is a full moon party nite but hopefully we won't get too drunk to go divng the next day. yeah... LET'S GO DIVING!!!

enjoy. i have been to ko tao 4 times, there is no place quite like it anywhere
