Bangkok to Samui
buses leave from the South Terminal in Bangkok. There are V.I.P
first-and second-class buses. These are all air-conditioned. For
an easier journey, buy a bus/boat combi-nation ticket. The price
for a V.I.P bus is around 450 baht including the ferry transfer
from Nathon to Suratthani. The journey takes around 12 hours. As
a rule, buses are not to be relied upon, especially if you are making
a connection to a flight.
For buses from Suratthani to
Bangkok, the ferry leaves Samui at 2pm. To get to Suratthani town
from Samui, it will take approximately three hours. You will probably
have to wait for about two hours in the town for the bus up to Bangkok.
This bus will drop you off on the infamous Kao San road in Bangkok.
When leaving Samui, there are buses traveling to Penang and Kuala
Lumpur in Malaysia as well as Singapore.
Whether traveling from the airport
or from Nathon pier, the cheapest mode of public transport is a
songthaew (the red mini vans). If you do get a private taxi (usually
yellow), agree on a price with the driver first.
