Which one of these would you choose to get from BKK to Koh Tao:
- Fly BKK - Koh Samui, boat Koh Samui - Koh Tao ~2800 baht
- Bus BKK - Chumphon, boat Chumphon - Koh Tao ~850 baht
- Train (2nd class) BKK - Chumphon, boat Chumphon - Koh Tao ~750 baht
The bus+ferry/catamaran trip would last for nine hours all in all. The plane + ferry would take 3-6 hours less. The trains take longer than the busses (?).
Please include
fastness (our time in Thailand is limited to two weeks),
experience (sightseeing etc),
comfort (a/c etc) and
monies (I'm not on a budget but since I have a real job money still hasnt lost its value
) to
your reasoning. I will be travelling with my wife.
