How to get there
Subject to weather conditions, there are daily express boats between Thong Sala and Ko Tao, 47 km north, at 2.30 p.m.  The trip takes 2 1/2 hours and costs Baht 150 one way.  Rossarin Tour operates speed boats between Thong Sala and Ka Tao a couple of times a day for Baht 350 per person; the crossing only takes about an hour.

Train/Bus/Boat Combinations
At Bangkok's Hualamphong station you can purchase train tickets that include a bus from the Surat Thani train station (Phun Phin) to the Ban Don pier and then a ferry to ko Pha-Ngan.  These generally cost around 30 to 50 Baht more than baying each ticket separately yourself.
