Koh Tao (Via Koh Samui)
The quickest way to Koh Tao is by way of Bangkok Airways who fly direct from Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and a number of other destinations.

Upon arrival at Koh Samui, one can arrange transfer to Koh Tao through the airport information desk. Koh Tao can only be reached by boat as there is no airport on Koh Tao itself. We recommend the 1 hour voyage by either the Lomprayah Catamaran or the Seatran Discovery which leave twice daily for Koh Tao. There are other options available via other boats, but these are by far the fastest and best ways to reach Koh Tao. Regardless of which option you choose you should be aware that the last boat leaving Koh Samui for Koh Tao is 12 noon.

The last catamaran leaving Koh Tao for Samui is at 3pm daily, so any onward flight bookings/reservations should ideally be scheduled for after 6pm to allow for any unforeseen delays. Transfers from the piers to the airport are readily available for minimal sums and in some cases included in the catamaran pricelist. Whatever you prefer, you can book directly through the above links online or you can book all your transfers through Coral Grand Resort.

Pattaya - The easiest and most cost affective way to Pattaya is to catch an air conditioner bus from the Ekkamai Bus Terminal. Busses start from 6:00 am up to 11:00 pm ticket cost about 120 Baht. For Ekkamai Bus Terminal you can take the BTS (sky train) and get down at Ekkamai Station on Sukhumvit Road.
