Getting There
-
Songthaew
From wherever you are in Koh Samui, find a nearby Songthaew stop. Songthaews are shared taxis that follow set routes. Look for one heading towards Mae Nam. Get on and inform the driver that you want to go to Bang Po Beach. The fare is typically around 50-100 THB, depending on the distance. Once you get to Mae Nam, you will need to get off at the main road. From there, you can either walk towards the beach or catch another Songthaew that goes directly to Bang Po Beach.

Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can hail a taxi from your location. Simply tell the driver 'Bang Po Beach' or show them the address: HWHP+7Q2, Mae Nam, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84330. The ride will be more expensive than a Songthaew but will take you directly to the beach. Expect to pay around 300-500 THB based on your pickup location.

Motorbike Taxi
For a quicker and more adventurous option, you can opt for a motorbike taxi. Find a motorbike taxi stand or flag one down. Communicate your destination as 'Bang Po Beach' or show them the address.
