BEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO KOH TAO READ THIS. YOU'RE WELCOME. THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAH!

because it is incredibly difficult to find a cheap and nice way to go to Koh Tao I would like to explain our way with love, after days of looking for the best way and having done it now, in our opinion this is the cheapest and best way to go to Koh Tao. step 1. buy a bus ticket at Pantip, the office is at the end of the bus station on the left, so walk through the entire hall. be clear and say you want to go to the pier in Shurat Tani. this is the pier where the night boats leave. if necessary, show on google maps to the lady behind the counter where it is. ticket should cost 250 baht but this also changes sometimes. step 2 do NOT buy a boat ticket in Krabi. make sure you are in Shurat Tani before 21:00, we took the 16:30 bus and had more than enough time to eat and buy our ticket. buy your ticket at KO JAROEN night ferry. there they have ticket sales at the boat itself for 700 baht. this Ferry is across the street from the other pier. you have to cross the bridge. fine to walk. this Ferry has nice beds, the other boats have terrible beds. this way you have minimal problems with the waves and you immediately have a night covered. make sure you shower before going to the bus stop and bring plenty of water and snacks. in total your price is 950, which is cheaper than the fast ferry. plus the free night's sleep! if you have time and want to save money, this is the best option to our knowledge. good luck!
