Lower Southern Gulf Getting there & around

Getting around

An intricate public-transport network takes you almost everywhere. Numerous boats shuttle back and forth between Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan, Ko Tao and Surat Thani, while buses and trains link Surat Thani with destinations further south. Sǎwngthǎew and motorcycle taxis will take you around the islands for little cost. If you want to drive yourself, motorcycles can be rented for about 200B a day. Car rental, at about 1500B per day, is also an option.
