| Getting
To Koh Tao
Via Koh Samui…
The quickest way to Koh
Tao Map is by way of Bangkok
Airways who fly direct from Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Singapore,
Kuala Lumpur and a number of other destinations.
Upon arrival at Koh Samui, one can arrange transfer to through
the airport information desk. Samui can only be reached by
boat as there is no airport on Koh Tao Map. We recommend the
1? hours voyage by either the Lomprayah
Catamaran or the Seatran
Discovery which leave twice daily for Koh Tao Map. There
are other options available via other boats, but these are
by far the fastest and best ways to reach Koh Tao Map. Regardless
of which option you choose you should be aware that the last
boat leaving Koh Samui for Koh Tao Map is 12 noon.
The last catamaran leaving Koh Tao Map is at 3pm daily,
so any onward flight bookings/reservations should ideally
be scheduled for after 6pm to allow for any unforeseen delays.
Transfers from the piers to the airport are readily available
for minimal sums and in some cases included in the catamaran
pricelist. Whatever you prefer, you can book directly through
the above links online or you can book all your transfers
through Coral Grand
Resort.

Via Chumphon…
Getting to Chumphon from Bangkok is very simple
either by train or a comfortable VIP bus. Both options can easily
be booked in Bangkok or online. Again Lomprayah
Catamaran offers two trips and Seatran
Discovery offers one trip to Chumphon daily and the price
includes the transfer to Koh Tao.
Via Suratthani…
Travellers from Phuket &
Krabi typically pass through Suratthani, which is a long and at times
uncomfortable journey in a minibus. Boat options are very limited
and the only direct boat is a little dubious even at the best of times.
This night boat leaves Suratthani every night at 11 pm. We do not
recommend coming to Koh Tao Map this route but recommend
you fly from either Phuket or Krabi directly to Koh Samui.
