LaoPo Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 How To Get From Pattay To Koh Samui?, cost-saving route... Cheapest would be (I think): bus to BKK train BKK-Surat Thani ferry ST - Koh Samui LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Seem to remember somewhere reading about either a ferry service or maybe it was a guy with a motor launch who does the trip.....some time ago so dont quote ..but should ask around.

That is the way I would do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 You might find however that paying for boat, then bus, then if you have to stay over in bkk then a bus down to pattaya, the air fare will be no more or even cheaper. My friend visited me recently from Ko Samui and it did indeed turn out to be no more expensive to fly into Pattaya and of course alot less hassle and much much quicker.

britmaveric Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Also factor in the amount of time wasted for an over the land journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waime Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Thanks for the info!It seems better take the plane!!! Bangkok air rate is around 200 USD for the round trip ticket! Where to find the cheaper one? Take 12go airlines from bkk to Surat Thani (1700 Baht) then take the bus at the airport to the ferry and off you go!!!

BigC Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 bangkok airways make it cheaper to fly from pattaya. yet it is hard to get a taxi to Utpao airport. the drivers would prefer to take you to bangkok rarther than to utapoao airport. in pattaya becuase they can pick up customers from bangkok and cannot from pattaya. stupid money like 1500 baht to pattaya airport and 800 baht to bangkok. best get a lift off someone. as for the ferry. when you book it through an internet shop. they will do you a package of bus or train and ferry included yet you will get the forang ferry which takes 3 hrs. sat there in the hot sun. on a smal boat. best thing to do is go to Hanlapong station book the train yourself there then at the other end n surrathani sneak off and get a taxi to the seatran office. then you book your ticket a free bus comes takes you to donsak then the ferry only takes 1 hr and 30 mins. yet u will find it hard to get a taxi driver becuase the buss companies try and kid nap you to take you on there cheap and nasty boat. best take a thai lady with you. the taxi driver don;t want to take you becuase they don;t want to get into trouble with the big companies. maybe lie to the driver ask him to take you to the big C when you are in the car change your minde and go sea tran office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Utapao to Samui via Bangkok Airways is the only way to go if you value your time.... not to mention that it's much safer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Air Asia Bangkok to Surattani. Anything from 1,000 Baht to 1,800. Bus and ferry from Surat airport to Samui costs 280 Baht combined ticket. Bangkok Air, big rip off. Edited February 22, 2007 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
