Koh Samui is the third largest island belonging to Thailand, laying off the coast of Thailand’s mainland. The port lays on the southwest coast of the island with the town centre a 10-15 minute walk from the landing pier; for those not wishing to travel on foot there is also a taxi rank directly outside the port. Away from the port, the easiest and cheapest way to get around the island is by songthaew (a covered pick-up truck type vehicle that serves as a local bus) which are seen frequently and can be flagged down from the side of the road. The majority of the population live in the town surrounding the port, Nathorn, though the major sights are found scattered around the island. Because 90% of the island is buddhist, one of the main attractions is the Big Buddha, a giant statue that can be seen by walking up many stairs. It is worthwhile noting that visitors are required to remove their shoes if they are to walk up to witness the statue up close. Aside from the Big Buddha, Koh Samui has copious beaches on offer – the most popular is Chaweng Beach which has plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops to enjoy. The island is notorious for being the most upmarket in Thailand, transforming its clientele from backpackers on a budget to middle class Europeans and North Americans. To escape the tourist focused areas, the south of the island offers a totally different landscape; Samui family-run restaurants are hidden among long stretches of coconut palms and dusty roads. Ferry routes run relatively frequently from the port to the neighbouring islands as well as the Thailand mainland; the crossings are all fairly short and comfortable making it a stress free sailing.
Found on the south east coast of Thailand, Chumphon Port lies in the Chumphon Province of the Mueang Chumphon District. Chumphon Port has remained relatively unspoilt by Thailand’s mass tourism, and still boasts pristine sand beaches, unexplored caves and picturesque walking trails. There are three ferry routes coming out of Chumphon port, providing the crossing to some of Thailand’s most southerly islands. The routes to Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and Koh Samui all run once a day, usually departing Chumphon Port in the early hours of the morning. The sailing to Koh Tao lasts around 2 hours 30 minutes, whilst the crossings to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan take around twice the time. There are no catering facilities at the port or on board the vessel, so it may be advised that passengers bring their own food and drink.
