Phuket/Krabi to Koh Samui

Hi Guys - I hope someone can help....I'm arriving in Thailand mid July (Phuket) and am planning on doing the West Coast islands first (so Phi Phi/Lanta etc) then I need to get over to Ko Samui to explore the East. Can anyone tell me what's the best way of doing this? Really appreciate any help! x

Any tour operator will sell u a ticket over to the islands in the Gulf by minibus or if you prefer to be more self sufficient or you can get a public bus from Krabi Town over to Surat Thani & then a ferry from Donsak pier over to the islands. Just as you would in your home country ;)

You can even get a combo ticket to Koh Samui at the bus station in Phuket Town.

Direct bus is cheapest one.

Yeah bus is a better option from Krabi.

OK - cheers for the replies guys. I reckon bus it is then.

I wish you very happy travels on the road.

Bon voyage,
