Koh Samui to Ao Nang

You can travel to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia and the home of the world-famous Petronas Towers, from Koh Samui in Thailand. Depending on your budget, the options include bus, train, or plane.   Koh Samui to Kuala Lumpur by Bus and Ferry   If you travel to Kuala Lumpur by bus from Koh Samui, it will take about eighteen hours. You will be collected from your hotel in an air-conditioned mini-bus that will take you to the Naton Bus Terminal. From there, you will take a bus to Hat Yai; the journey to Hat Yai also includes a ferry crossing to the mainland port in Donsak that will take only ninety minutes. The bus will continue toward Hat Yai from Donsak.   Once you arrive in Hat Yai, you will have half an hour to switch for the bus that will take you to the Thai-Malaysian border at Sadao into Malaysia, and then toward Kuala Lumpur. Hat Yai is six hours from the border. The journey around the border takes forty-five minutes, and getting the passport stamped for the visa only takes half an hour, at the Thai and Malaysian border controls; when that’s done, you will enter Malaysia and begin your seven-hour journey toward Kuala Lumpur.   All the buses stop at regular intervals, and include the usual facilities, are-conditioned and comfortable as well. The car ferry is sturdy, strong, and spacious, and able to stand strong waves. There is ample seating on the air-conditioned ferry, and the facilities onboard include restroom and a snack shop where you can buy snacks and beverages.   Koh Samui to Kuala Lumpur by Train   It takes twenty-two hours to get to Kuala Lumpur from Koh Samui via train. The first leg of this trip is to Hat Yai, which is the same as mentioned above. When you reach Hat Yai, you take a short taxi ride toward the bus station, and then take the bus to the train station, from where you will catch the train for the Sentral Station in Kuala Lumpur; this journey will take fourteen and a half hours. The train will have second-class sleeper seats, as well as seating carriages, available. It will reach Kuala Lumpur by early morning.   The second-class sleepers are recommended because the berths are comfortable and structured in a dorm-style manner against the walls of the carriage, on the central aisle. The berth on the top is slightly narrow but it also costs 100 Thai Bahts less in price. There is ample room for the luggage as well. They are available in both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned carriages. The latter costs 200 Thai Bahts less. Your bags are safe on the train, but to be extra safe, keep your bags locked. When the journey begins, there are two seats facing each other, but they can be pulled together to form a bunk later on. The upper bunk folds out from the wall. The train staff will hook up curtains for privacy and also lay down fresh sheets on your berth. The cheapest among all of them are the second-class seats; they are recommended for people who are on a budget. The carriages are modern and have air-conditioning and comfortable seats that can recline enough for you to sleep on. Light meals are also served on board.   Koh Samui to Kuala Lumpur by Plane   You can find direct flights for Kuala Lumpur from Koh Samui; Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Kuala Lumpur, is thirty-five minute or thirty-five kilometers away from KLCC. There are daily flights for Kuala Lumpur, and the journey only takes an hour and forty-five minutes. The price of the tickets is between 7000 and 11000 Thai Bahts if you fly with Firefly Airlines. Although this does not include a transfer to the Koh Samui airport from your hotel, you can book it with us separately.   With Samuidaytours, you can also find flights for Kuala Lumpur from Surat Thani Airport—sixty kilometer or forty-five minutes from KLCC. The flights from Surat Thani are cheaper and you can save between a 1000 to 35000 Thai Bahts. Although the flight is the same, the crossing to Surat Thani via bus and ferry adds another 3-4 hours to your travel time. Since getting to Surat Thani only costs 750 Thai Bahts, you save money overall, so this is the better option for people for whom time is not an issue. Besides, the transfer from hotel is included if you pick the latter.   When you reach Kuala Lumpur airport, you will come across taxi counters before you pass through the security. If you want to take a cab, you will have to pay in advance and get a voucher that you will show to the taxi driver. These taxis are run by airport and are the safer option. But when you exit the airport, you will also find unofficial taxi drivers with whom you can negotiate the price. They are not under airport administration, so there is no guarantee with them.   If you want to book a flight for Kuala Lumpur, or have any questions in general, feel free to contact us.

Koh Samui to Hua Hin by Bus   It takes about nine hours to reach Hua Hin from Koh Samui via bus; the buses have both VIP and economy seats available.

You can walk around and stretch your legs and bask in the sun on the ferry, or you can just rest inside in the air-conditioned cabin. The ferry has bathroom facilities, a shop for food and snacks, and movies are played for entertainment both on the ferry and on the bus from Chumphon.

They are secure, lockable, have air conditioning, sleeping compartments with two berths, and have clean beddings for both berths. Bathrooms are also available, situated at the end of each carriage: the bathrooms include fresh water shower as well.

Visa Run to Penang, Malaysia (3 days and 2 nights) A visa run to Penang in Malaysia is required when your length of stay has nearly expired in your passport. Given the quality of shopping and nightlife, some people prefer the Penang visa run instead of the Kota Bharu one from Koh Samui. The Thai consulate can, at times, be rather strict, but if you are confident and have all the right paperwork with you, then there’s nothing for you to worry about.

About Speed Boat Transfers   The Full Moon Party held on Haad Rin beach in Koh Phangan in Thailand is famous all over the world. It draws up to 30,000 people every full moon.   With such massive number of people heading to Koh Phangan for every full moon party, Koh Samui has various transfer services to transport people to the Haad Rin beach, but you might be wondering which of them is the best. The best one is, without a doubt, the speedboat; it only takes twenty-five minutes to get to the beach from Koh Samui.   The ferry services take you to Thong Sala, but the speedboats take you directly to the Haad Rin beach where the full moon party is held, which means that once you get there, you can start partying right away, instead of getting taxis from the pier in Koh Phangan and finding your way to the beach. The total cost of getting to the beach by either means is pretty much the same, but you save an hour approximately if you take the speedboat. Speedboats are also more convenient as they leave more frequently, about every hour, as compared to ferry services.   Travelling to the full moon party via a speedboat is very safe as well, as it is regulated by the Marine Police on both ends; they make sure that the boats follow all the safety protocols and do not overload with passengers.   Our team only includes sailors and staff who take the job seriously. They will ensure that you get to the Haad Rin beach for the party and back, safe and sound, so the only thing you will have to do is have a blast at the party. Please note that everyone will be required to wear a life jacket; seasickness medications will be available before departure (free of cost).   What you can expect at the Full Moon Party?   The Full Moon Party is a tradition that began in the mid 1980s, when a group of tourists arranged a get together with their friends to enjoy the beautiful spectacle. As the years passed, the number of people grew and now about 10,000 to 30,000 people visit the beach every full moon to celebrate.   The part actually starts at sunset, when revelers fill the one-kilometer beach, wearing swimsuits, full moon vests, as well as fluorescent body paint. The Haad Rin beach is also known as the Sunrise Beach, and it offers something to everyone. It is filled with open-air clubs and bars that play different types of music, alcohol bucket vendors, stalls of food, and a lot more. The party goes on until sunrise when you get to witness the beautiful spectacle that has become the beach’s namesake.   There is a lot to see in Koh Phangan as the locals entertain everyone with fire eating, juggling acts, and a permanent fixture that is the 30 feet tall, “Full Moon Party Haad Rin Koh Phangan” sign that is set alight during every full moon party. There will be a lot to eat and drink as the bars also serve barbecues, and there will be a lot of street food as well to keep you energized and fresh with party cocktails, buckets, and everything else.   The odds of your travel to Thailand are probably to be a part of the legendary Full Moon Party. Koh Samui is very busy during this time so it is better to plan ahead and make your that you, your friends, or your group, is able to get to Haad Rin beach quickly and safely.   You can do that by booking a speedboat with us so you can simply enjoy later. All you will then have to do is pick up an alcohol bucket, get body paint and glow sticks, and get the party started.   How Full Moon Party Speed Boat Transfers Work   Speedboats operate several times an hour, departing from 17:00 until 00:00.   - Hotel transfers are between 90 minutes prior to departure time. Please ensure you are waiting in your hotel lobby during this time. - Bookings are made for hourly departure intervals, e.g. booking 18:00 is an 18:00-19:00 departure time with a 17:00-17:30 hotel pick up time. - During peak times (19:00-22:00), due to passenger numbers and demands placed on hotel transfers, expect a waiting time of up to an hour at the pier before departure. - Return journeys back to Koh Samui operate between 01:00-07:00. Due to the nature of the evening, there is no booking return times due to the unreliability of passengers, and is operated on a queue basis. - During peak times (03:00-06:00) there can be waits of up to two hours for the return boat due to heavy demand placed on a limited number of speed boats – Please respect the boat staff during this time.

You can also get to Bangkok via ferry, bus, or train, or flights from Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Tammarat airport.   If you fly from Surat Thani or Nakhon Si Tammarat, you will add another five or six hours to your trip, as it involves taking a ferry from Koh Samui and a then bus to the said airport. Hotel transfer is included in Koh Samui and the rate is around 1300 to 2500 Thai Bahts, which saves significantly on the Bangkok Airways service.   Private Transfer to Koh Samui to Koh Chang   We also offer private transfers from Koh Samui to Koh Chang. A private transfer service includes a car or a mini-bus, depending on the number of people, and a chauffeur who will pick you up from your hotel and drive you all the way to your destination. This is often faster than other public transports. It also allows you to travel directly to Koh Chang without any bus, ferry, or plane changes.
