6 ways to travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao

There are six ways to travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao. You can choose between the train, ferry, train via Suratthani, bus, minivan, and flight. The journey takes 3h 15m–13h and the quickest way is by flight. If you're on a budget, the cheapest option is by train with tickets starting at $22 (710 THB).

TransportDurationPrice

When taking the train from Bangkok to Koh Tao, you can choose to go either via Chumphon or via Surat Thani.

We recommend travelling by train via Chumphon, as this province is nearer to Koh Tao. From there, it takes around 3 hours to reach Koh Tao by ferry.

Step 1: Bangkok to Chumphon by Train

6h 30m - 7h 55m$7 (232 THB)

From your hotel in Bangkok, you will first have to go to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station, which is the starting point for all trains going to Chumphon.

We recommend that you take a night train that arrives early morning in Chumphon. This way, you can immediately transfer to the only van leaving in the morning, which is at 06:00, and arrive early in Koh Tao.

The train ride to Chumphon Railway Station can take around 6h 30m - 7h 55m, depending on the train you take.

Fares start at $7 (232 THB) for a second-class seat. Some trains also offer first and second-class berths that are more expensive, but definitely more comfortable. See our recommended train schedules below.

Booking Tip

We recommend booking your tickets online through BookAway. Their site is intuitive, provides a clear picture of what you can expect, and offers great customer service. If you're eyeing the best deals, you might occasionally find slightly cheaper tickets on Baolau.

Step 2: Chumphon to Koh Tao by Van + Ferry

1h 30m - 8h$15 (480 THB)

Outside Chumphon Railway Station, vans are available to take you to the ferry terminal, where you’ll be taking the ferry to Mae Haad Pier in Koh Tao.

Fame Tours & Services and Lomprayah vans are available with fares from $15 (480 THB).

Travel time is around 1h 30m - 8h, including the ferry ride to Koh Tao.

Koh Tao

When travelling from Bangkok to Koh Tao, you can also travel via Surat Thani, which is the province next to Chumphon in the south.

Koh Tao is actually a part of Surat Thani, but travelling via this province takes longer and can be more expensive than going via Chumphon.

However, we still wanted to share this option in case the option with the stopover in Chumphon doesn’t fit your itinerary for some reason.

Step 1: Bangkok to Surat Thani by Train

9-11h$7.90 (260 THB)

Same as the train via Chumphon, trains to Surat Thani also depart from Krung Thep Aphiwat Station in Bangkok. The journey takes longer, though, around 9-11h.

Since the train ride to Surat Thani Railway Station is a bit longer, you can try a sleeper berth with air conditioning for a more comfortable journey.

Ticket prices for second-class sleeper berths start from $7.90 (260 THB). Below are our recommended train schedules.

Step 2: Surat Thani to Koh Tao by Van + Ferry

4-13h$23 (750 THB)

From Surat Thani Railway Station, the combined van and ferry ride to Koh Tao takes around 4-13h.

Fares for the combined van and ferry ride with Lomprayah start at $23 (750 THB).

If you miss the van departure, you need to figure out your own transportation to Donsak Pier, which is about 79 km away from the train station.

Booking Tip

If you add this van and ferry trip to the train journey, it will take probably around 20 hours of travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao via Surat Thani. It is definitely longer than the 11.5 to 13-hour trip via Chumphon, which is also about $18 (600 THB) cheaper than this option.

Koh Tao

Booking an overnight bus and connecting ferry to Koh Tao is the easiest way to reach this paradise island from Bangkok. With this option, both the bus and ferry are already organised for you, so you won’t have to book the tickets separately.

The combined bus and ferry option requires two transfers. The first one is by bus or minivan in Chumphon or Hua Hin, while the second transfer is to board the ferry at Chumphon Pier.

Combined tickets start from $36 (1,200 THB), and the journey can take around 10h - 19h 30m.

Departure and arrival station

Songserm, Montanatip, and Lomprayah buses all depart from Khao San Road, the famous backpacker street in Bangkok. For Paradive Travel, the meet-up point is at Hua Lamphong Railway Station.

After the transfer in Hua Hin or Chumphon, the bus or minivan will take you to Chumphon Pier. From here, you will take the ferry and arrive at Koh Tao Island.

Booking Tip

Luckily, most trips available are night buses, so you can catch up on sleep and be well-rested before you arrive. However, keep in mind that not all buses for this route offer sleeper beds, so you may have to sleep in a reclined chair instead.

Koh Tao

You can travel to Koh Tao from Bangkok with a combined van and ferry. BookAway lets you book both tickets at once, saving you the trouble of buying them separately.

Fame Tours & Services and Travel Mart is operating on this route. See the schedule below.

Koh Tao

If you’d rather save time than money when travelling from Bangkok to Koh Tao, your best option is to fly via Koh Samui. With this option, you do not need to spend more than half of your day travelling.

Koh Tao doesn’t have its own airport, so you will have to take a flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui, an island that is another main tourist destination just below Koh Tao.

This option also involves a minivan ride to the pier and a ferry ride to Koh Tao. Even with the transfers, by flight is the fastest option to travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao.

TIP: If you decide to travel by plane, please consider including a carbon compensation fee to reduce your impact on the environment.

Step 1: Bangkok to Koh Samui by Flight

1h 5m$60 (2,000 THB)

There are multiple flights departing from Bangkok to Koh Samui every day. All flights are operated by Bangkok Airways.

For a flight to Koh Samui Airport that takes around 1 hour 5 minutes, ticket prices start from $60 (2,000 THB).

Check the ferry schedules before booking a flight (Step 3). Most ferry companies have the latest departure at 12:30 pm. This means you have to book a morning flight in order to arrive at Koh Tao on the same day.

For more information, you can read how to go from Bangkok to Koh Samui.

Other flight options when travelling from Bangkok to Koh Tao

You also have the option to fly to Chumphon or Surat Thani and take a ferry from there to Koh Tao.

Flying from Bangkok to Chumphon or Surat Thani can save you some money, but it will also take you more time to reach Koh Samui as these ports are further from Koh Tao.

Travelling this journey to Surat Thani by night train can be a great alternative too, but in the end, the bus + ferry might be the easiest option if you want to save money.

Check Flights on Skyscanner

Step 2: Samui Airport to Pier by Shared Minivan

40m$7.60 (250 THB)

Seatran Discovery runs a combined ferry and minivan transfer to and from Koh Samui Airport, so you can book the airport leg with your boat ticket. Hotel pick-up on Samui costs a little extra.No other ferry companies include airport pick-up, so you’ll need to travel on your own from the airport to the pier.

The ferries from Koh Samui to Koh Tao depart from Mae Nam Pier and Nathon Pier. SmackOne offers van services to these Zone 2 areas for $7.60 (250 THB). There are van departures every 30 minutes from 07:00 to 21:30.

You can also take a taxi from the airport with rates starting from $12 (400 THB).

Step 3: Koh Samui to Koh Tao by Ferry

1h 30m - 4h$14 (475 THB)

In Mae Nam and Nathon Pier, high-speed and speed boats to Koh Tao are available. The travel time from Koh Samui to Koh Tao will take just 1.5-2 hours. Fares start from $14 (475 THB).

Once you reach Koh Tao, you may have to arrange your transfer to your hotel by yourself. Better yet, you can ask your hotel to pick you up from the port once you arrive on the island.

If you are looking to enjoy the island's stunning beaches, explore its natural beauty, and try out some of the popular water sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving, we recommend spending 3-5 days in Koh Tao. However, if you are interested in getting your Open Water or Advanced Open Water certification, we recommend planning for 5-7 days in Koh Tao to complete your course.

The cheapest way to get to Koh Tao from Bangkok is to take a train to Chumphon, then a van + ferry to Koh Tao. The total price of the journey depends on the train ticket you buy with third-class seats being the most affordable (but we do recommend splurging on a second-class ticket with AC so you can get better sleep).

Will I get seasick on the ferry to Koh Tao?

Unfortunately, the sea en route to Koh Tao can get choppy. If you struggle with seasickness, make sure to bring motion sickness medication with you.
