sbk Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thong Nai Pan Noi. From Thong Sala to Thong Nai Pan is about 150 baht a person if taking the regularly scheduled songthaew. There are no regularly scheduled songthaews from Hadrin to Thong Nai Pan so you will be paying for what is esssentially a round trip in a songthaew. Price is negotiable, but I would guess a minimum of 500 but it is more likely to be at least a thousand. Alternatively, you could take a taxi boat from Hadrin to Thong Nai Pan, no idea what those would charge but I'd say at least the same since, once again, you will essentially be paying for a round trip as the taxi boats do not regularly run there. I recall reading that there was a regularly scheduled large long tail boat that goes from Samui to Thong Nai Pan, but don't know what times that runs.

angiud Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 There is/was some kind of (daily?) boat service from Big Buddha to Haad Rin - Hat Thien - Than Sadet - Thong Nai Pan, but honestly I didn't see the boat for a while, better ask in Ban Rak (Big Buddha).

So, with that expert advice we may suggest a different route for the op. Take the ferry from ban rak to thong sala instead of hadrin first of all. Secondly, you could rent yourself a jeep from the renter right on the pier (is he still there?). I did that about a year and a half ago and if i remember correctly it was 600-700 / day. Cheap for the freedom of going wherever you want whenever you want. And, probably half of that money would be spent on taxis anyway. Options are many, have a nice holiday! .
