Good to know before you go
Leaving Koh Samui
Koh Samui has its own airport and is the starting point for most trips to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. It has several piers, and the right one depends on the operator, so check the departure pier on your ticket, not just “Koh Samui”.
Bangrak and Maenam are 10–20 minutes from the airport; Nathon is on the far side of the island. Allow for traffic in Chaweng.
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.
