Night Train to Surat Thani
Tickets for a night-train can be booked at Bangkok Airport, Bangkok Railway Station and many travel agencies in Bangkok. So, you have to use a taxi to go. This concerns all people, who like spend at least one night in Bangkok. It is not sure to get a ticket for the same day! The best information about these tickets you will get at the railway station in Bangkok.

If you use the train, it stops at Surat Thani railway station. You then take a bus to Samui (combi-tickets available). The ferry transfer is included because the bus uses the ferry. A detailed time-table can be found here.  On the island the bus first stops at the ferry pier and then at Nathon pier. Remember to tell the resort where and when you want to be picked up   (Surat Thani - Samui app. 3 hours, ferry included).
 

Traveling by Bus
Another way to traveling around the island is driving a car. Samui offers you many cars for rent which can be easily found around the island; or just ask the hotel where you stay. For renting a jeep , it will cost you around 800 - 1500 Baht per day (24 hours). If you like it more comfortable you can rent a car from Budget Car Rental which delivers the car to your hotel or awaits you at the airport on your arrival. It is also a good way to discover Thailand as you can return the car everywhere in the country.
