Hi guys,

Can anyone suggest an easy but inexpensive way to travel from BKK to Koh Phangan?

I'm planning to leave BKK on the 30th, and I know everything gets booked fast since it's near NYE. Is flying to Surat Thani the better option? Will it be easy for me to get to the pier, and also do I need to book the ferry ticket in advance?

Cheers!

Hi

Flying to Koh Sumai and going to Koh Phangan is an easy option but little expensive compared to flying to Surat thani and going to Koh Phangan. It just takes 30-45mins to reach Koh Phangan from Koh Sumai and it takes around 3-4 hours from Surat thani airport to Koh Phangan . You can easily buy joint ticket (Bus and ferry) from the Airport. It will cost you 450-500 Bhts.

Regards
Rohan Sahani

Bangkok airways site gives a price at 4485 baht and surprisingly is even cheaper on the Saturday at 4160 baht for Ko Samui but they don't seem to fly to Surath Thani. Air Asia does and on the Friday costs 3654 baht. Searching around on sites like Expedia or Opodo may get it for even cheaper.

Is flying the only option for you otherwise take a overnight bus/ferry to Koh Phangan. this will not cost no more than 1000 bht at most.

If you are staying in a tourist area like Khaosan rd etc... then you can easily get a bus/ferry ticket to Koh Phangan. You will get picked up around 4pm then taken to the bus which is parked just outside Khaosan Rd Area somewhere then you travel through the night to Surat Thani where everybody will get off and split up and get minibus to what destinations they want to go to, as for you it will be ferry pier for Koh Phangan maybe via Koh Samui.

Another option is if flying into Samui take a song thaew from the airport to Bang Rak pier (10 mins max)and then boat to Ko Phangan (35 mins).
