Good morning and how are you doing today? Isn't it a beautiful morning?
I have up at sunrise yeah I know that's
unusual and you're asking why well
partly to enjoy the beautiful sunrise
but that's not actually why I've got up
this early, we're up this early because
we are leaving Koh Samui where we've had
a fantastic time exploring the island, it has been very
very beautiful weather has been oh fantastic
if a little toasty hot, but we are
leaving Koh Samui and catching a taxi then
the ferry to another Island Koh PhaNgan
so let's go
one last look
at the beautiful sunrise
Now when you want to leave Koh Samui
Samui and go to either the mainland or
to the other islands Koh Tao or Koh
PhaNgan, I'm going to Koh PhaNgan
there is three ferry companies that do
fast boats, I'm with this one whose name
I will put down below for you now you
can buy tickets some travel agents in
town, they will obviously add on, and you
can book them online with various travel
agencies or you can just drive to the
port area yourself which is right here now
now I've come when there's no boat so it's
nice and quiet, to tomorrow I'll show you
what it's like when there is people here
and you go to these counters and you
book your ticket now a one-way ticket
there's two boats a day to Koh Phangan
where I'm going and it's 300 baht per
person. You go to the check-in counter
buy your ticket and when you come in
check in which I will show tomorrow we
check in before you go on the boat, you
have to be here forty minutes before the
boat departs so it's nice and easy to do
they do a keep a website online I'll
link that below which gives you the
ferry times and the prices and they do
run all year although I think that
in the rainy season there's a limited
services so at the moment this time of year
sunny good weather they go twice a day
eight in the morning and it arrives at
8:20 only a 20-minute transfer and 12 midday
they also depart from Koh Samui to Ko Phangan.
so nice and easy to buy your ticket if
you don't the hassle of driving out here
I rented a bike so I just drove out
here it took me ten minutes to get here
and bought my tickets nice and easy
agents in town all over Koh Samui - Chaweng
Chaweng all of those will do it
usually add about a hundred baht each so
you do pay a little bit more but
obviously save the time anyway let's go
to Koh Phangan
Koh Phanang
let's find the right place well it's a little
busier than it was the other day when I
came to buy my ticket there's no boats
going I think I just, already got my
ticket, I think I just have to check-in
I think my boats over there let's go and see Ko Phangan
okay checked in I've got my sticker
Ko Phanang, and got this to put on my
luggage and I've got to go to gate 2 departing, to be boarding
at ten to eight and it's... I've no idea what time it is
anyway let's get going
