To
our knowledge there is only one marina that is operational on Koh
Phangan, which is not surprisingly named: Koh Phangan Marina. It is
located in the western Hai Kong Bay surrounded by coconut plantations,
well protected from winds and waves. They provide launching, retrieving
wet and dry berth, supplies and maintenance services at very reasonable
prices. The Koh Phangan Marina can be contacted via: +66 (0)1-774-6410
/ +66(0)1-774-4062 or by fax on
+66(0)77-631-187
From the ferry piers to the Serenity Cove resort:
While we are pursuing the option of having our own transportation to and from the Serenity Cove resort, to and from Thong Sala, we are currently obliged to let our visitors make use of the public white 'shared taxies' which are locally known as Song Teaw. When the ferry arrives to the island you will normally find several of these shared taxi's waiting for you at the unloading point. Although the fees are not always fixed, the trip to our location at the Serenity beach (Haad Yao) should be 100 baht per person. However, when visitors arrive late in the afternoon or early evening it is not uncommon that the taxi driver will ask for a higher fare if there are not enough people to share. At such time you can negotiate with the driver or wait for a next ferry with more people to arrive.
Keep in mind that there are no other forms of public transportation on the island while negotiating. If you find yourself somehow stuck or unable to make it to the Serenity Cove resort, don't hesitate to give us a call, so that we may assist in finding alternative transportation for you or send one of our staff members to come and collect you.

By air
There
are many ways to get to Suratthani and Koh Phangan by bus. The air
conditioned (blue and white) government licensed busses tend to be more
comfortable than the minivans and coaches that run from Khao Sarn's
famous backpacker area.
The government licensed busses depart from both the Eastern Bus terminal Ekkemai and the Northern Bus terminal Mo Chit. The journey will take 8-9 hours and the bus fare will be between 180 and 230 baht. The Cherdchai buses that depart from Ekkemai station start running at 06:00 at intervals of 1.5 hours and from Mor Chit station at 08:30 and another at 17:30, while their colleagues from Suparat bus company start at 08:30 with intervals of 2 - 2.5 hours on Ekkemai station and from Mo Chit at 06:00 and continue their departures from there with 3 hour intervals.
Perhaps less confusing and just as accurate is the statement: Just show up at the bus terminal of your choice, buy a ticket and get on the bus! Last night buses departures are all around 23:00.
