If you do the Samui-Phanghan trip go early in the morning as too arrive before the hallucinagen-crazed Israelis awake and start pacing the beach like caged animals.

Yes it is possible but completely ridiculous! My friend did it with 2 children on the back...several hours later the children washed up on silver beach in samui half drowned. He wasnt in much better shape! Good luck tho, take a rubber ring for when you fall off

Would a rental do?

I spoke with a guy in Thongsala on Friday - he was packing his shopping into plastic bags so that he could keep it dry for the trip home on his Sea-Doo. Apparently he has no road access to his beach house on the island, so this is his only form of transport.

It turns out that while we are worrying about the 15km trip from Samui to Pha-Ngan, he has already done the 60km open water run from Suratthani to KPG - using just 15 litres of the 60l tank for the trip. He's also done the KPG-Samui trip in just 10min each way.

The Sea-Doo is powered by a 1500cc 4-stroke 155hp Rotax engine, and if kept in good nick is bound to be just as reliable as any other 4-stroke workhorse. I wouldn't trust my life on a 2-stroke jet-ski for any island hopping.

I know a couple who went all the way from Samui to Koh Tao; in a foldable canoo (4m long) They got cought up in a storm and one of the girders broke, but they made it and back also.

If I was them, for my next Samui-Tao canoe trip I would also take a 1500cc 4-stroke 155hp Rotax engine and 60 litres of 91-grade fuel.
