Ko Samui KL - Koh Tao
Posted: Wed April 22, 2009 05:34 PM UTC
Hi there.

My boyfriend and I are looking to get to Koh Tao in August but will be coming from either Siem Reap or Kuala Lumpur (itinerary yet to be decided). What is the fastest/cheapest way of getting there?

Many thanks
Caroline

It may still be possible to go from Surat Thani on the mainland directly to Koh Tao without having to first pass through Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Do a Google search for this route. If something is available it should show up. Also look for ferries from Chumphon to Koh Tao.

I don't think Air Asia offers any direct flights from KL to Surathani but when I was at Krabi Airport a couple weeks ago, I was informed that they do use Krabi as an international airport for KL to Krabi flights. So, I think this is your closest airport for a direct budget carrier. Then from Krabi-town bus station yo can take a bus up to Chumphoun which is a faster ferry route to Ko Tao than from Surathani.
The only other option I can think of is if there's other international budget carriers from KL or Singpura to Samui, in which case. that would be even faster and more convenient.

You'll have a great time in Koh Tao - and because you may have the weekend off, you can visit the neighboring islands! (but Koh Tao is my fav) It has a great nightlife and chilled out atmosphere, especially on the beaches.. and has a great neighboring island where you can get a 5 min boat over and go snorkeling or learn how to dive!

chree,
