Koh Tao to Bangkok Private Van from Chumphon Pier with Driver
A private van from Koh Tao to Bangkok, collecting you at the Chumphon pier where your boat arrives, costs ฿9,000 in a Toyota Commuter (9–13 seats) or ฿19,000 in a Toyota Alphard (6–7 seats), one way per vehicle, including the driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water. The boat from Koh Tao to Chumphon is not included, and the van meets you on the mainland, not on the island.

To book, send your date, boat company and arrival time in Chumphon, drop-off, passengers and luggage via LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719.

Stops & places to visit
6 · Stops & places to visit
Mae Haad Pier, Koh Tao
Most boats to Chumphon leave from here; arrive early with your luggage.
Koh Tao boat piers, Chumphon
Boats from Koh Tao arrive at several piers around Chumphon, such as Lomprayah's pier at Thung Makham Noi and the piers near Pak Nam Chumphon; the driver waits at the one on your ticket.
Thung Wua Laen Beach
A quiet beach north of Chumphon town, a place for a seafood meal before the long drive.
Ao Manao, Prachuap Khiri Khan
A pretty bay inside the Wing 5 air base south of Prachuap town, a good place to stretch your legs.
Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang), Phetchaburi
The hilltop palace beside the highway in Phetchaburi; a visit takes about an hour, so agree it when booking and check opening hours.
Met at the Chumphon pier
Tell us your boat company and arrival time; the driver waits at that pier and follows the real arrival if the boat is late.
Home, hotel or airport: one fare
Drop-off anywhere in Bangkok or at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang costs the same: ฿9,000 Commuter or ฿19,000 Alphard per vehicle.
The whole group's luggage in one van
Everyone's suitcases and dive gear ride in the same vehicle, with no changing between coaches and buses.
Flying out of Bangkok?
The boat plus 6.5–7.5 hours of driving makes a long day, so we suggest an evening or next-day flight.
Regular breaks for safety
The driver stops for meals and rest on the way, for example around Prachuap Khiri Khan or Hua Hin.
Priced per vehicle
One price for the van, whether you are 2 or 13 passengers.
