Koh PhaNgan

Air

Koh Samui Airport is the most convenient airport, with Bangkok Air flying in over 30 times in a day from Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Pattaya, Singapore, Kuala Gumpur or Hong Kong. The last boat leaves for Koh PhaNgan from Big Buddha Pier at 6:30pm, so for flights arriving later than 5pm you may have to hire a private speedboat or stay in Koh Samui; during FMP there are boats all night from Samui.

It is cheaper to fly from Bangkok to the government airport at Suratthani especially as One-Two-Go (www.fly12go.com) is now offering one-way flights for 1,850 Baht per person as is Air Asia (www.airasia.com) at slightly cheaper rates, though taxi fares and journey time tend to negate savings. It takes a minimum of 5 hours to get to Koh Phangan from Suratthani Airport and a minimum of 1 hour from Koh Samui.
