Thanks Jerome! You took me back in time. I went to Koh Tao 20 years ago! We took the train the Chumpon then the Ferry to Samui and then the Lampraya to Koh Tao.
Very interesting video. Yes, is a good idea after Songkran to go to holiday. We stayed 10 Days in Samui. Very good holiday, Rain started yesterday, we are lucky, always sunshine
Thanks for the great videos, as a past resident of Koh Tao, I just want to point out a few extra ways of getting there. 1. Night Train to Chumpon and then the morning Lomprayha to the Island, that boat is arriving at 9am. 2. You can also take the Night Boat from Chumpon to Koh Tao, leaving 10pm and arriving about 5am. 3. If you fly to Surat Thani (the transfer from the airport to the city is slightly shorter than Chumpon), then there is a Night Boat leaving Surat Thani at 9am and arriving Koh Tao around 6am.
alweer een dikke merci! altijd fantastische video's met de info die volledig is! hopelijk ooit een biertje met U! grtz van Andy en Chutinan uit België en Roi Et!
Been there 10 years ago same Hotel. Very good location. We ll be back in November after a few days in Bangkok and Laos. Hope you show bit more of Ao Nang 👍
Mooie reis maak je,ik ben in maart/april naar samui, Tao en koh phangan geweest was weer helemaal geweldig. Ik kom sinds 1988 in Thailand,ik doe altijd bkk en de eilanden. Als ik naar phangan ga en aankom in de haven huur ik daar een scooter en ga dan wat zoeken,ik ga altijd de kant van de zonsondergang op ik vind die kant geweldig,als je van een lekker wijntje houd zou ik le Alcove bij hin kong is proberen en bij srithanu de Belgian beer bar. Fijne reis en ik kijk uit naar je filmpjes.👍🙏
Hello! First time coming across your channel, fantastic video explaining the journey to Koh Tao! How do you go about about buying the ticket to sit in the exclusive area? If you already have the ticket can you buy it at the desk in Chumphon? Or does it need to be purchased online in advance? Did you buy your boat tickets online direct?
Or you can take the night train from Bangkok to Chumphon which was actually very enjoyable. I'd recommend figuring in at least 2 hours extra past their estimated arrival time. Bangkok trains are notorious for being very late. Mine was 2 1/2 hours late but I made sure to give myself at least 3 hours to get to the Lomprayah pier.
In March me and friends took a big trip by car from Phuket to Chiang Rai and back. Stayed overnight in Chumphon both ways. Our stopovers were Chumphon - Hua Hin - Ayutthaya - Khao Kho (Phetchabun province) - Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai - Tak - Bangkok - Chumphon. It was really big fun and more than 3000 km. 5555
Dit was zeer nuttig. Ik herinner mijn trip naar Koh Tao vele jaren geleden. Gestart vanuit het centraal treinstation in Bangkok waar er een bus zou vertrekken om 17u. Het werd uiteindelijk 21u en de reis naar het zuiden was overnacht. Aangekomen op de pier maar daar ging de bootreis niet door wegen te veel wind. Naar andere pier een uurtje verder naar het zuiden. Uiteindelijk aangekomen in de late namiddag op bestemming Koh Tao. Waarom is vliegen op Koh Samui zo duur?
Short flights? There was a flight from Don Muang to Hua Hin. ( with a Sky Van) Suspended. Chiang Mai - Mae Hong Dong or Mae Sot was also about 45 m with an ATR. Crazy flight? Nakhon Ratchasima - Bangkok with Air Asia for … 60 baht. Yep, 2€. Didn’t last long… In the start up of Airasia we flew to Phuket for 300 baht one way.
hello jeroen thanks for all the great videos i have a question i want go to koh tao because my gf life there but how is it with the flying ticket because i have more as 7kg baggage
