Arrival by airplane
Please book your flight to arrive at Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Phuket International Airport (HKT). Airport transfer is not included in the price.
The most direct way to Koh Phangan is to fly from Bangkok or Phuket to Koh Samui Airport (USM). From there, you can purchase a joint ticket that includes a shuttle from the airport to the pier and the ferry to Koh Phangan.
Another option is to fly from Bangkok to Surat Thani Airport (URT) and take the ferry to Koh Phangan. You can buy your joint ticket at the Surat Thani Airport.
There are two ferry options: a fast speedboat ferry or a slow ferry. From Surat Thani Airport to Koh Phangan, the fast ferry takes approximately 3 hours 15 minutes, and the slow ferry takes 5 hours 15 minutes. From Koh Samui pier to Koh Phangan, the speedboat journey takes approximately 30 minutes, and the slow ferry journey takes 1 hour 30 minutes.
Lomprayah is a speedboat service that provides joint tickets from Koh Samui and Surat Thani airports to Koh Phangan, while Raja Ferry is a slow ferry service that provides joint tickets from Surat Thani airports to Koh Phangan. Please check their websites for up-to-date ferry services and timetables.
Arrival by bus
Taking a long-distance bus from Bangkok or Phuket is another way to get to Koh Phangan. Lomprayah is one company that provides joint bus and ferry transfers from Bangkok and Phuket to Koh Phangan. You may also travel via other government or private transport providers at the interstate bus terminals.
Arrival by ferry
Several boat companies provide a daily service between Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan or the mainland.
Arrival by train
There is an efficient train service from Bangkok to the south of Thailand (southern line). Overnight sleeper trains are the best way to go. All trains stop in Chumphon and Suratthani, where you will be provided with a connecting bus to the ferry pier.
The total trip by train and boat takes about nine to 16 hours. A boat ticket to Koh Phangan and transport from the train station to the pier are usually included in the joint ticket. If you do not have a joint ticket, you can always buy a ticket for the boat at the pier.
Arrival by taxi
Once you make it to Koh Phangan, take a taxi from the pier. Tell the driver that you want to go to Ananda Yoga & Detox Center on Hin Kong Beach, and they will know where to take you. The price will range from 200 BHT in the low season to possibly 400 BHT in the high season.
Ananda Yoga & Detox Center is currently unable to provide pick-up / drop-off services to and from their resort.
