Getting Around Thailand (1)
Bangkok to Koh Tao
You can get a train, you can fly, or you can take a bus and a ferry. We have decided on an overnight bus and ferry to save on 1 nights accommodation.
The overnight combo costs £21. It leaves Bangkok at 9pm and arrives in Koh Tao at 8.45am.

Koh Tao to Khao Yai NP
Return to Bangkok (see above)
Bangkok to Khao Yai NP
The bus takes about 5 hours and is 130THB, though minibuses can be hired for a faster (albeit pricier) journey.
The cheapest option is the train at 85THB, but it takes longer at 6 hours.

Khao Yai to Ayutthaya
A nice and simple train ride, the cheapest option. You can't go wrong at 23THB, taking 2.5 hours.
