Hi all, what is the best transportation method for Had Yai to Koh Pha Ngan? I heard there are mini vans. I will be taking the bus from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur to Had Yai and then after that what? Thanks.

There are big air conditioned buses from Hadyai to Donsak from where you can get a ferry to Koh Phangngan. Also mini buses from Hadyai to Nakhonsrithammarat, change and get another minibus to Donsak and then the ferry. There might even be a direct minibus but I'm not sure on that one.

Hope that helps.

There are many travel agency's to, you may want to travel with a tour operater (e.g. Holyday-Tour, Cha-Wang Tour) which maintain direct transfer to Donsak, with MiniBus.

Btw, Hat Yai is a very nice city, cheap accomadation, very good food, Thai and International. My choice there, King's Hotel (just opposite is a Tour-organizer, for Penang, KL, Singapore, Suratthani, Puket) and for best food, try the japanese "Fuji" Restaurant in some shoping center. Not to expensive!
