There is also the option to fly to the much cheaper Surat Thani airport and get a bus to Donsak where you can board the Lomprayah or Raja Ferry for 1.5 hours, or 3.5 hrs respectively.
Or take the night train from Bangkok to Surat Thani, get on a bus from Surat Thani to Donsak and take the Lomprayah or Raja Ferry for 1.5 hours, or 3.5 hrs respectively.
This option is considerably cheaper but takes a lot longer and can involve some stressful situations you encounter when traveling in Thailand.
Koh Phangan is certainly one of the most amazing islands in the country.

Above all, the offer of paradisiacal beaches is on this island unparalleled in Thailand and makes the heart of sun-hungry beach vacationers beat faster. In addition to the many beautiful picture book beaches, you will find a really impressive offer of unique things to do in Koh Phangan, including visiting tropical waterfalls, picturesque temples, deep jungle and breathtaking viewpoints. Definitely, enough attractions to spend several weeks on Koh Phangan.
Koh Phangan Island is located in the Gulf of Thailand, and is 65 kilometers from the mainland, between the two islands of Koh Samui to the south and Koh Tao to the north. It has a size of about 125 km² and is part of the Samui archipelago, a group of islands that includes another 60 islands and islets. The famous Ang Thong National Park, a popular destination for boat trips, is also located in this region. Koh Phangan is well-known for its countless paradise beaches and the unique dropout flair that can be felt almost everywhere on the island.
The island’s capital is Thong Sala, where the ferry also docks. In the city you will find countless bars, backpacker hostels and also the lovely Thong Sala Night Market, which is known for its good street food. Especially famous is the place Haad Rin on the southern tip, where once a month on the full moon the infamous Full Moon Party takes place. However, the other parts of the island are quiet and perfect for a really idyllic vacation.
