Bangkok to Koh Tao by Bus and Ferry

We took an overnight bus from Bangkok toward Chumphon and then boarded a ferry to Koh Tao, dealing with confusing pickups, delays, and an early-morning wait at the pier. After arriving at our resort, we rested, ate pizza, explored the beach, and enjoyed the island views. We had originally planned to visit Myanmar, but decided to go diving in Koh Tao instead, where we also tried local coffee with sweetened condensed milk.
