From Muang Rayong To Ko Samui

[Zerothai]

Anyone know if there is any bus/minivan service that go directly from Muang Rayong (Rayong City) to koh Samui?

VIP bus would be better than minivan (as would be a pretty long trip they are at least a bit confortable... something that I can take, sleep and wake up in Samui would be perfect

Or I'm forced to go BKK and take a bus from there?

You can fly from Ban Chang (Utapao Airport which is 30-40mins from Rayong)to Koh Samui

Otherwise I only know the long way round thru Bangkok

needless to ask-there are of course no direct regular buses-but you can hire.

There ARE direct buses-3/4 day from Rayong (noone here says Muang) to KANCHANABuri-via BKK's west/Sai Thai-currently rerouted via i dont know. You should-due to flooding-have said for about when- alittle thinking goes a long way and avoids unneeded cyberspace. No further details untill you have done that

Yellow bus goes direct to Samui from Rayong. leaves approx 4pm daily. Comfortable

Timetable here http://www.iloveyellowbus.com/en/roots.html just scroll down to Route 393.

Depot, at the moment seems to be on Sukhumvit a few Kms outside Rayong town centre on the left heading west (towards Maptaphut).

Not sure is we are talking abut the same thing, or if the route has changed but the yellow songtiow bus, unless taken on a s a private run, only goes af far as 'The Rocks' on Hat Mai Rumpung Beach then goes on to second street and back to Rayong

[terryq]

Gladiator, not the same thing this is a proper bus (coach) run by Roong Reung Coach co (Mukdahan) not a song thaew, it happens to be bright yellow

Zerothai, sorry for late reply, suggest go to Rayong Bus station near Star Hotel ask for SongThaew to Mapthaphut or Ban Chan, if not rush hour should be able to accommodate on regular route , if busy you can charter a vehicle for yourself, never gone by taxi myself but its cheap.

The yellow bus depot is about 7-8 Kms from town centre (guess) on the left next to Shell petrol (gas) station. Tell the taxi driver Yellow bus or Mukdahan bus depot.
