Good to know before you go
Leaving Surat Thani
Surat Thani is the mainland transport hub for the Gulf islands, with an airport, a railway station at Phun Phin and bus links to Krabi and Bangkok. Most island tickets combine a bus to Donsak pier with the ferry, and a slow night boat leaves from the town pier.
Combined bus + boat tickets from the airport or train station are the simplest option: the bus waits for the ferry connection.
Arriving in 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.
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.
