How to Get Around Ko Pha-ngan Without Paying a Fortune

After missing the 6:30 AM bus from Thong Sala in 2022 (costing 15 THB / €0.40), I learned to book the 7:00 AM bus instead — it’s less crowded and gets you to Haad Rin by 7:45 AM. You’ll pay 15-30 THB (€0.40-€0.80) for most local routes, but avoid the 6:00 AM service: it’s packed with tourists and you’ll miss the sunrise over the bay.
