We love the beach. So this is the first time for our trip to Koh Nangyuan (Nangyuan Island). We decided to take a trasportation service by bus from Khaosan Road to Chumporn and after that we will take a highspeed catamaran from Chumporn to Koh Nangyuan, Suratthani province. Both bus and high speed catamaran by Lomprayah.

Our trip started from Khaosan Road. We checked-in for the bus around 20.30 hrs. and the bus will depart at 21.00 hrs. We have some quick dinner at a thai style street food vendor on Khaosan Road. The bus took approximately 7-8 hours from Bangkok to Chumporn. We reached the pier in Chumporn province around 5.00 hrs in the early morning.

You will noticed that the sky still dark. Every passengers seem to be tired but some passengers went to wash their face to stay awake. There is a mini-mart at the pier  where we can buy some bakery and coffee.  The small food stall is also provided at the pier. You can buy some breakfast also.

The early morning, the sun light was coming. Some people went out to the beach and take a photo of the beach and pier. The high speed catamaran await us at the end of the pier.

7.00 a.m. the catamaran departed from the pier. On the catamaran, a lot of seat available. I think it has more than 200 seats on the catamaran. The air-conditioning is really cold inside the catamaran. There were some video advertising about the diving service on Koh Tao and Koh Nangyuan. After the advertising, the dvd movies was showing up.

Koh Nangyuan is awaiting for us.
