Is it possible to take a bike/wave moped from Chumpoon to Samui or does it have to be Donsak/Surat. Details of companies and tmetables if need to book much appreciated.

TIA

Only company that makes the Chumpon - Samui route (via koh Tao, Koh Phanghan) is lomprayah.

No they don't take on motorbikes.

Its a nice ride from Chumphon to Donsak anyway, even on a Wave

As said, it is a nice ride down to Donsak. Just stick to a comfortable speed and plenty of stops and it is no sweat. It is also well sign posted as well.

I've seen the odd bike on the Lomprayah but doubt if they were ferang owned.

Have you considered the post office?

Yes it probably is but not if you have already done 400kms

Good idea if going to live there but its just for a few days so looks like bus and then rent when in Samui

Thanks for the quick replies....shame they don't have a ferry as for me Surat is just too far, so be car or bus and then rental In Samui...

Travel with your bike by train?

Still a long haul from Surat's train station to the piers 60Km as the crow flys, probably more like 70-80Km and two hours.

Cheers Basil, thats a great idea, will check that out later. 70km is OK, just dont fancy 600-700

If you rode from BKK then you have done it the wrong way... Next time, if there is a next time, train to Chumphon and then ride the rest... Much better roads heading down from Chumphon

.....until you get to Samui....not just the roads but the road users too!!

Post office works a treat

Take bike there tell them you want the bike EMS and bubble wrapped they wrap the bike in bubble and cardboard

I sent a PCX HUA HIN to BKK 1200 Baht

Make sure they not leaver the key on and drain battery as they did to me LOL. Apart from that not a scratch

There's nightly ferry dept. 23:00, arr. 5:00 taking vehicles on board. check http://www.chumphon-kohtao.com/boat-timetable
