How to Get to Ban's Diving Resort on Koh Tao
There are a number of options for getting to Koh Tao depending on where you are coming from and your budget.

From Bangkok:
By Bus:
We have a booking office on Khao San Rd., located beside Khao San center restaurant in the middle of the Khao San road, that offers joint bus and boat tickets to Koh Tao via the Koh Tao Cruiser. The bus departs daily at 20:30 from Khao San Rd. and arrives at Chumphon at around 6:00, where a free transfer will take you to the pier. The boat arrives around 10:30 that morning. The price of this ticket is 550 baht for both bus and boat.

Other ways to get to Koh Tao

By Train: The State Railway of Thailand has daily departures to Chumphon. The best train to take is the 2nd or 1st class sleeper trains which travel through the night.

The express (EXP SP 85) train leaves at 19:15 from Bangkok and arrives in Chumphon around 5:00 am. In Chumphon there is a Koh Tao Cruiser office just outside the station where tickets can be purchased to Koh Tao. Prices depend on classes, train reservations can also be booked at our office on Khao San Rd.

By Airplane: If long hauls are not for you then I recommend flying to the island of Koh Samui and then taking a boat from there. Tickets can be purchased on-line from Bangkok Airways www.bkkair.com. There are daily departures from 6:00 to 19:40. If you would like to arrive on Koh Tao the same day that you leave Bangkok then make sure you take the flight that leaves at 10:10 or any earlier flights. The price of a one-way trip from Bangkok to Koh Samui is around 3700 baht. At the Samui airport tickets can be purchased for the Lomphraya Catamaran which then arrives on Koh Tao around 14:00. Tickets for the catamaran are 550 baht and they provide pick-up from the airport.
