What shop is that?
Davy Jones Locker. I'm actually headed there right now! I jumped on some < $600 USD return tickets from San Francisco to Bangkok for September.
Chinese airlines are really driving the price down, even to $450 return, but with crazy long layovers, making the 20 hr trip 45! I'd spend $100-150 more to avoid that. ANA even jumped in and that means a possible long layover in Tokyo, long enough to spend half a day. I went through Taipei though.
What's nice now is that you can get from BKK to Koh Tao via a single ticket on a budget airline, Nok Air, which wasn't available before. Airport to pier on Koh Tao. It adds about $200 return to the trip.
There's an airport on Koh Tao?
There were and are other options for an all inclusive ticket. Easiest of course one of the travel agents, but if you want to book online from home, check e.g. Lompraya. Should be much, much cheaper.No. It's an inclusive ticket that will get you from Bangkok to Koh Tao via air, bus and ferry. Before, you had to book the segments yourself and if one leg misses, you're stuck. Now, at least, they'll make sure you get there.
