Moving To Koh Tao From Bangkok

[MikeENZ]

So I'm in the lomprayah back to bkk and planning on moving back in the next week or two.

Need to get all my stuff down there and too much to carry in a suitcase/backpack. I think I will have:

1 plastic bin misc stuff

1 rolling gear bag/suitcase

1 backpack with laptop/expensive stuff

1 bag for bedding and other household stuff

1 bag for dj equipment (large)

1 box or computer screen/LCD

1 box for shelf speakers

And possibly some stuff from ikea (desk for dj gear).

What is the best/fastest/least hassle way of getting this down?

Also any reccomendations of property apart from what's listed on bua property? Ideally we'd like 2 maybe 3 bedrooms, a study or maids room to use as a studio, lounge type area, bathroom with hot water and flushing toilets. Somewhere a close drive but not too far away from Sairee and charlock bay. This would be long term/semi permanant rental.

Also need a second hand (powerful with dirt tires) or trail bike or two to purchase or long term rent for around 10k for a scooter, more for a bike obviously. Suggestions.

If you don't have the desk then all the rest can be carried down on the bus/ boat. Get 2/3 nongs to give you a hand down with the stuff and also set up shop. Total cost should be around 5-7k and it'll be an adventure to boot.

You should be able to take all that with you on the government bus to KPG. I also moved a lot of stuff to Samui this way.

The bus drivers will tell you how much extra they want to ship those on their bus. Usually should be around 500-1000 bt.

You can even bring that ikea desk if you flat pack it.

I even brought with me 4 tables.

From KPG, you should be able to get it on a boat to Tao.
