yorkie100 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This is a new service. There is also a connection via Seatran port which I have used. (Pantip) I think this has been discussed in another thread if you feel like searching. I don't know the Air Asia costs, but Pantip cost 300 baht one way.

Rooo Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes, it is. See: http://www.airasia.com/ask/template.do?id=572 Thanks Mario, that's the listing I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Pantip is 300 from Donsak to Suratthani airport!!??? That's very expensive. From Samui to BKK, the government bus is only a bit over 500 bt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngThong Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What's the cheapest way from BKK to KPG? I've always flown with Bangkok Air to Samui myself but I have friends coming over and they're on a budget... Where do you catch the cheap bus from BKK to KPG? How much is it, when does it run etc.? Air Asia seems to be around 1,800 - 2,000 bht one way incl. ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngThong Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks. I did google, as did they. The trouble is knowing which websites are up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aza90 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The best bus is the VIP Government bus to Koh Phangan that leaves either from Morchit or the Southern bus terminal. 24 seats, takes about 10 hours to Donsak then Raja ferry over to ThongSala. Around a 1000 thb. Sleeper train is another option. Journey is a few hours more but good for sleeping through the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Asia seems to be around 1,800 - 2,000 bht one way incl. ferry. Look into prices for getting the train from BKK to Chumpon and connecting with the Lomprayah catamaran to KPH. Thats probably the cheapest route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngThong Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've travelled by train from Surat Thani to BKK myself once, it wasn't bad. No idea if you'd have to book in advance though, they'll be flying into BKK early in the morning on the 21st. Do you reckon they'd be able to get a seat on a train that day without booking in advance? The ferry shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 There is a bus service that started from Ekkamai this month, it's 589 Baht each way, seems to be a long journey though. Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait 3 days in BKK once to get a seat on the day train. Edited March 11, 2013 by Eric1949 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
