Whats the best way to get from Phuket to Koh Samui, Thailand?
I flew from Koh Samui to Phuket, I have to say this is the best way to do it, it onlys takes about 1 hour, costs 2000 baht ($US50) per person one way. Of course you can do it other ways if you are looking to save money and have plenty of time. You will have to catch a ferry to get on and and off both islands, the pier to get to Koh Samui is at Surat Thani, there are many departure times per day cost around 150b -300b, depending on the boat, there are slow boats and fast ones, slow boat takes half a day (you dont want to get that one) fast boat take 2 1/2 hours. Now in between Phuket and Samui you can catch bus. (if you dont mind hot crowded slow travel this will be the cheapest option.) Costs around 250B and set yourself a day to do this trip it takes 8 hours. As for trains i dont think they run between the two destinations, so its either bus or plane, I recommend the plane it can be a bit expenisve but it is sooo worth it especially if you dont have much time. I travelled all round Th
