Bus information

The price for a V.I.P bus from Samui to Bangkok is around 1200B including the ferry from Nathon to Suratthani. The bus journey takes around 12 hours. As a rule buses are not to be relied upon especially if you have a connecting flight. Prices increase during peak seasons and public holidays.

For VIP buses from Samui to Bangkok, the ferry leaves Samui at 13.30. To get to Suratthani town from Samui, it will take approximately 3 hours. You will usually have a 2 hour wait either at the pier or in Suratthani town for the bus up to Bangkok depending on the company you are travelling with. This bus will drop you off on the famous Khao San Road.

There are daily early morning bus services to Phi-Phi, Khao Lak and Koh Lanta from Samui whilst Krabi, Phuket and Khao Sok have an additional afternoon service.

The 8.00a.m. Seatran Express to Krabi is the fastest. Heading south buses also go to Penang and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and even Singapore. Whether travelling from the Airport or from Nathon pier, the cheapest mode of public transport is a sorngthaew (the covered, red pick-up trucks).

If you do get a private taxi (usually yellow), agree a price with the driver first! They do not run their meters and there are fixed prices for different destinations.
