Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is a big, hilly island between Samui and Tao. It is known for the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin, but most of the island is quiet beaches and jungle. Nearly every ferry docks at Thong Sala on the west coast.

Around Full Moon Party dates, boats from Samui sell out and run extra late sailings. Book ahead and keep your return ticket handy.

Arriving in Chumphon

Chumphon is on the main railway line south from Bangkok and is the closest mainland port to Koh Tao. High-speed catamarans leave from piers on the coast east of town, usually linked to buses and overnight trains from Bangkok.

The joint train/bus + boat tickets from Bangkok are good value. The boat waits for the connecting bus, but not for a late private taxi.

Weather and season

Weather runs to a different clock from the Andaman: the Gulf is usually calmest from February to August. Expect rain and rougher crossings from October to December.
