• Haad Yao Villa is on the beach of the north-west of the island and about 15 minutes from the main pier of Thong Sala. From the pier, you need to head north and follow the main road until you reach the resort is on the beach.
• There is an efficient train service from Bangkok to the South of Thailand (southern line). The overnight sleeper trains are the best way to go. All trains stop in Suratthani, where you will be provided with a connecting bus to the ferry pier. The total trip by train and boat takes about 11 to 16 hours. A boat ticket to Koh Phangan and transport from the train station to the pier is 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. BusTaking a government bus from Bangkok is a good way to get to Koh Phangan. It offers a lot of leg space because it has fewer seats than the regular tourist buses (which are offered by travel agencies and TAT-agencies). The government bus will continue on the ferry to Koh Phangan so you can leave your luggage on the bus, saving you time and the hassle of changing transport. The government bus leaves from the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok, where you must also buy the ticket.
