Koh Tao boat trip

[roedoyle]

I've booked a few days in koh tao, leaving from hua hin, without finding out how to get there. Could anyone tell me the quickest way and from where?? Many thanks

Ferry from Chumphon. Which is around an hour and a half drive south of Hua Hin...

The best way is the combined bus & ferry ticket Hua Hin -> Chomphon -> Ko Tao with the Lomprayah company.

We can book it for you if you wish.

Barrys is spot on. The other boat options are far inferior in the main.

Thanks for the quick response , how long does it take Barry? And what times are the ferries??

I'm not Barry but here goes... buses leave from the clock tower (Starbucks) on Phetchkasem about 8am. They get to the Lomprayah pier late morning and the boat pulls in to Koh Tao about 2:30pm (never checked my watch). Bus and boat included in the one ticket whether through Barry or a travel agent.

There are 2 services per day leaving from Hua Hin Clock Tower:

departure 23.45 - arrive Koh Tao 08.45

Price 1000 baht per person each way.
