Traveling on Koh Samui
Taxi
Car taxis are available almost anywhere on the island and can take you to most places. Make sure to agree on the price before departing as meters are barely used.
Motorbike Taxi
Motorbike taxis are often located near major resorts and businesses. Again, make sure that the price is agreed on before departing.
Song Tiew
Trucks (or utes) with bench seats and a covered area on the back for people to sit are the most common form of public transport on the island and cheaper than taxis. They only travel set routes covering most of the island.
Rental Car
If taxis are not your thing, then a large variety of cars can be rented for an average of 1,000 THB per day.
Rental Motorbike
The humble motorbike is the most common and economical form of transport on the island. Rental per day is 100-250 THB and per month 2,000-4,000 THB.
