Flying is the best and quickest way, but not the cheapest. Bangkok Airways has maybe a dozen flights every day to Samui and back from Bangkok. Thai Airways has 2 a day. Both about the same price.

Nok Air flies to Surat Thani and connects with a bus and ferry to Samui for a lot less. But takes a lot longer.

You can also get a bus. Costs less still. But takes even longer.

Walking would take forever.

You could take the overnight train as well. It depends upon your time availability.

Personally I prefer to fly even given the extra and somewhat ridiculous fares.

If only you could move the OP down then he'd have an easy answer....

BKK Airways, everyday, about the same price as London-NY
