• From Bangkok, take a bus to Ban Phe (166B from Ekkamai, Eastern bus terminal)
• On arrival at the pier, it costs 50B to cross to the island on the slow boat. When you arrive on Koh Samed, it is a 200m walk from the pier. Follow the road up to the left and look out for the white 'HOSTEL' signs on the right hand side of the road, or at night time, look for the coloured lights over the bar area.
