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 Koh Tao
Koh Tao is a small, rocky island known around the world as a place to learn to dive. All passenger ferries dock at Mae Haad, the village on the west coast, a short walk or taxi from Sairee Beach.
Koh Tao is the most exposed of the three islands. If the sea is rough, sit low and near the middle of the boat.
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.
