Koh Chang to Koh Tao? | Secret Cross-Gulf Hack | Boonsiri Ferry
Did You Know? Visit Koh Chang-Koh Kood... Then Continue to Koh Tao-Koh Samui in One Night!
This is the "Travel Hack" every real traveler needs to know! Forget the old belief that you have to choose just one side of the Gulf. You can cross the Gulf of Thailand easily... Just sleep and you're there!
The Traveler's Nightmare: Why Was Visiting Both Sides of the Gulf (So) Hard?
Most travelers (maybe even you) usually "choose" one or the other:
- East Coast (Trat): A paradise of tranquility like Koh Chang, Koh Mak, Koh Kood
- South Coast (Surat/Chumphon): A haven for divers and parties like Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Samui
Because crossing from one side to the other... is a logistical nightmare! You have to take a ferry... connect to a bus... ride the bus... go into Bangkok... find a hotel for one night (wasting money!)... then wake up to find another bus... Wasting almost 2 full days of travel time.
But what if we told you... that belief is 'WRONG'?
.
Revealing the "Secret Link" Across the Gulf: Boonsiri Ferry
This is the hero of the story! Boonsiri Ferry isn't just a ferry operator; they are the provider of "VIP Bus + Ferry Joint Tickets" that perfectly connect both sides of the Gulf. Most importantly, their "hub" or central connection point is the Boonsiri Ferry Office on Khaosan Road
Having this single, central hub creates the "Golden Timetable" that will change your travel life forever!

This is the hack you've been waiting for... Follow this plan, and you won't have to spend a single Baht on a hotel in Bangkok!

Goodbye Hotel Fees!
This is the real value! Think about it:
- A cheap hotel near Khaosan for 1 night costs anywhere from 800 - 1,700+ Baht
- A joint ticket (Bus+Ferry) from Boonsiri Ferry 1-way (e.g., Bangkok-Koh Tao) costs around 1,150 - 1,250 Baht
See? You save the cost of a full hotel night! (Plus you save 1 full day of travel time). It's like 'using your hotel money to pay for your travel' instead. Plus, you get a comfortable VIP bus and a stable catamaran ferry that significantly reduces seasickness.

The Complete Guide to Booking Your 'Cross-Gulf' Tickets
Hold on! You can't book a single 'Koh Kood ➔ Koh Tao' ticket. You must use this 'Hack' by booking 2 separate tickets (via the Boonsiri Ferry website):
- Book Ticket 1: Origin (e.g., Koh Kood) ➔ Destination: Bangkok (Khaosan)
- Book Ticket 2: Origin: Bangkok (Khaosan) ➔ Destination (e.g., Koh Tao)
Key Tip: Just make sure the dates and times of your two tickets align with the 'Golden Timetable' we've outlined (e.g., Arrive 8:00 PM and Depart 10:00 PM).
