Getting there & around
Getting there
Government buses run from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit, 92 baht) or Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai, 88 baht) to Si Racha, the mainland gateway pier for the island.
Getting around
A hired three-wheeled motorized tuk-tuk (samlor/Skylab) can be arranged at the pier for a pre-planned island tour; renting a motorbike or scooter, around 300 baht a day, gives more independence and flexible stops.
