There are daily sleeper trains leaving from Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok to Chumphon (approx. So this left us with option number 3: A combined train and ferry ticket. So we will give it a try when heading back to Bangkok! OPTION 3 – SLEEPER TRAIN AND FERRY COMBO TICKET – $$ Therefore, this combined bus – ferry option might actually be a great value for money after all. However, we also heard a lot of positive feedback when speaking to fellow travellers who had done it. Also, we don’t like longer bus journeys in general as we are way too tall to enjoy any bus trip longer than 1 hour with sleeping being completely out of question. After reading too many horror stories about buses not stopping the whole journey from Bangkok to Chumphon while only having a broken, smelly toilet on board we decided that maybe bus and ferry wasn’t the right option for us. Online reviews however got us a bit worried as most of them were pretty bad, like SUPER bad actually. The company Lomprayah offers a combined service like that and you can book tickets online via 12GoAsia*. duration: 8 hours) and from there with the high speed ferry to Koh Tao (approx.

From the Pier 2hour ferry crossing to Koh Tao: Nok Air for example offers “Fly’n’Ferry” combi tickets (flight from Don Mueang Airport to Chumphon, shuttle to Chumphon Pier and Lomprayan high-speed ferry ride to Koh Tao) making it also a very convenient option to travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao.Ĭ – Flight to Surat Thani, shuttle bus to Don Sak pier and ferry ride to Koh Tao: This is probably the least popular option of the 3 mentioned flight + ferry combo options for getting to Koh Tao as the ferry journey from Surat Thani will take much longer to get to Koh Tao than from Chumphon. ![]() If you however have the cash to spare and want to reduce your travel time as much as possible than this is your best bet!ī – Flight to Chumphon and a shuttle bus to Chumphon Pier.

Our first thought was, should we just take a flight? After all flights with Asian low cost carriers are usually pretty cheap and as most of these companies offer combined flight and ferry tickets to get from Bangkok to Koh Tao it’s definitely worth checking them out.
