my question is : if i start my journey from " Hua Lamphong"train station

..where should i go first better?

or go first by train to surathani and after samui , koh phangan ,phuket ,krabi koh lanta and back.

well : i try to find the most practice and reasonable way to visit this 5 places.

from where should i start my jounery? how should the best aragement?

Thanks )

I ill try to help as I have been to a few of these places.

Overnight 2nd class fan sleeper train to Surat thani.

Boat the next day to Koh Samui.

Boat back to ST or boat to Koh Phangan then back to ST

Bus to Pimalai jetty then ferry to Koh Lanta

Bus back to Krabi.

Boat to Phuket, there is an island in the middle that is worth a stop Koh Yao Yai.

For an added extra, bus to Ranong and boat to either Koh Chang or Koh Pahaym

Fly back from Ranong to BKK.

If you don't want to do that fly back from Phuket.

Check all these places out on the internet work out a timetable, how many nights where, and possibly book. You will have to book the train.

Remember we are coming up to the SW Monsoon season and the weather is likely to be wet and wild down there for the next 2 or 3 months.

Or take the train (bus, lompraya) from BKK to Chumpon and from there the boat to Koh phangan, koh samui. From samui you can easily arrange boat/bus combo tickets to krabi/lanta and after to Phuket.

At the north of Koh Phangan is Chaloklum beach, really quiet and cheap. Also boats leave from here to other beaches on Koh Phangan that are worth a visit.
