With the opening of Koh Phangan Airport yet to be unveiled, ferry travel is considered the best way to reach Koh Phangan, with hundreds of thousands each year making the crossing from nearby islands and popular parts of the Thailand mainland. The port is located on the southwest coast of the island and is known locally as Thong Sala Pier; it is generally very busy due to the popularity of the island and its close proximity to the famous Ban Had Rin beach. There are several crossings per day and each ferry boat typically carries around 180-300 people each time, creating a lively buzz around the area. The island is nearly always swarmed with backpackers and has become a notorious holiday destination for young travellers looking to discover Thailand’s party scene. Some regard the island’s reputation as the home of full moon parties, especially the infamous nights at Hat Rin, as a misconception distracting uninformed visitors from the hidden gems Koh Phangan has to offer. In an effort to attract a more upmarket clientele, areas such as Hat Thong Nai Pan Noi boast extravagant resorts with high quality restaurants and luxurious accommodation. For transport to and from the port, the only official taxi service is via songthaew (a pick-up truck type vehicle shared with other passengers) that are generally very reasonably priced. Many motorcyclists will offer tourists a discounted price but they are considered dangerous, unreliable and can also cause a fine from the police, so are best to be avoided.
With the vast majority of Thailand’s islands becoming a hotbed for tourists, Koh Kood Port is found on the coast of an island largely untouched by western travellers. For those that prefer to spend their holiday time engaged in tranquility, surrounded by stunning beaches and gorgeous landscapes, Koh Kood is the idyllic setting. The only way onto the island is by a boat from the mainland; the remote location and limited travel to the island are the primary reasons for its peaceful vibe and that looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. The port of Koh Kood is mainly used as a gateway to the Thailand mainland, with an average of two crossings provided per day. Considering it is the only form of transport away from the island, it’s important to the residents and tourists that the ferry runs fairly frequently, allowing passengers the chance to explore livelier areas of Thailand. The ferry route is provided by the high speed express boats belonging to Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, though the times and duration of the crossings can vary from season to season. There is limited transport around the island, in keep with the quiet, simplistic nature, so getting around the place can prove tricky. Most visitors tend to rely on taxis because of the lack of public transport, though most resorts will book a taxi for their customers.
