 To
get to Koh Tao, you will catch the boat from either Chumphon,
Surat Thani or Koh
Samui. ( Map
Of Thailand )
Chumphon
(Boat
Timeable)
Most people will be heading south from Bangkok to the mainland
port of Chumphon. Buses leave
every hour from the Southern Bus Terminal ("Sai Dai").
Alternatively
there are several companies that now operate a 'tourist' VIP
bus service from Bangkok to Chumphon and then onto Koh Tao
via the high speed ferries or catarmaran. Buses depart from
Khao San Road.
The
best option however is to take the overnight Sleeper-Train
from Bangkok > Chumphon. For around $US 25 you will get
your own bed, a food cart/menu and can stretch your legs whenever
you feel like it.
*NOTE
You must leave on the 7.15pm train to get into Chumphon in
time for all the boats and it's advisable to get to the staion
in Bangkok a couple of hours before.
 Surat
Thani (Boat
Timeable)
For those coming up from the south of Thailand, you need to
head for the port of Surat Thani. From Phuket or Krabi you
can only get by bus (4 hours) but from Trang, Hat Yai or even
Malaysia you can also travel by rail.
Koh
Samui > Koh Phangan > Koh Tao (Boat
Timeable)
Regular speedboats and express boats run between the three
