Routes, ferries & connections

Getting to Koh Samui

Three ways onto the island: fly into Samui Airport (USM), fly to Surat Thani and connect by bus + ferry, or take the classic overland route from Bangkok. We arrange the tickets — and once you land, our transfers pick you up.

✈️ Fly direct — Samui Airport (USM)

The fastest way in. Samui's own airport is 20–60 minutes from most resorts. Ask us about picking you up — flight-tracked, driver waits free of charge.

⛴️ Ferry routes

Regular ferries connect Samui with Surat Thani on the mainland and the neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Combined bus-and-ferry or train-and-ferry tickets from Bangkok are the budget-friendly classic.
