Travel Tips from Bangkok to Koh Tao

Bangkok is a lovely city, but it's time to take a break from the city life and find some place for relaxing. Thus, we had decided to travel from Bangkok to Koh Tao. There are many transport company to choose and we had chosen Lomprayah.

We always heard about delicious foods in Koh Tao and we can't wait to give it a try. So we booked our bus and ferry tickets to Koh Tao via BusOnlineTicket.co.th. Here's our travel experience with Lomprayah from Bangkok to Koh Tao :

a)	Check in at Lomprayah office
b)	Transfer at Chumphon Pier
c)	Relaxing in Catamaran High Speed Ferry
d)	Finally arrive at Mae Haad Pier Koh Tao

a) Check in at Lomprayah office
We check-in early in the morning at Lomprayah office which is located at Khao San road. Seat selection was during check in, therefore early check-in passengers have the advantage in choosing preferred seats. They will pass you the ticket and sticker to stick on your luggage. We took a good rest in the bus, by the time we reach Chumphon Pier, the sun is already rising.

After the 7 hours trip, we stopped at Chumphon Pier to make a transfer. Coincidentally, once we reach the Lomprayah Catamaran High Speed Ferry is already there. Thus, we were called to board the Catamaran High Speed Ferry. Don't forget to take care your belongings.

d) Finally arrive at Mae Haad Pier Koh Tao

After 2 hours in high speed ferry, finally we arrive at Mae Haad Pier in Koh Tao. There are several taxi and tuk tuk for the passengers who booked earlier. For people like us who wish to take tricycle on the spot, we just follow the “Exit” sign and go to the main entrance.
