Hat Yai Travel Forum

Hi everyone!!

Im planning to celebrate new year's eve at koh phangan island. Im still quite confuse as there were tons of traveler's guide informations in the internet. As to now, I still dont know which is which to choose? But anyway, i was thinking of travelling by land. Meaning either by BUS/TRAIN.

I just want to know:

How many hours does it take from Hatyai to surathani?

How many times in a day that the transportations available?

TRAIN will arrive at 11.20am (HATYAI)

BUS will arrive at 8-9am (HATYAI)

What I did in 2005 was from KL to Penang/Penang to Hatyai by train, stay overnight at Hatyai, then take the mini van to Krabi. You can keep going from Hatyai to Surathani by train, but the train is really slow, go to "sawadee.com" for the train schedule and time it takes. There are buses and mini vans going to most part of Thailand, consult the travel agents near the Hatyai train station.

4-5 hours from Hatyai to Surathani
There are not only train and bus but also minibus (van) from hatyai to surathani, few trains in a days but many buses or vans in daily
