➠ Location – Getting There – travel to Koh Phangan
All routes to Koh Phangan go through Koh Samui, Suratthani, or Koh Tao.

When planning a trip, important considerations:

The Suratthani pier is about one hour from the Suratthani airport and town center.
When seas are rough avoid speedboats; sea sickness is almost guaranteed.

The ferry from Suratthani is comfortable and takes about 2.5 hours.
Maybe easiest to travel by ferry from Suratthani with your car or scooter.
Some scooter rentals on Koh Phangan are unsafe or poorly maintained.
Scooters are dangerous on Koh Phangan due to sandy, slippery roads.
Flying to/from Phuket takes as long as driving/ferry in total travel time.

➠ Why does T.B.O not score Koh Phangan higher as a remote work destination?

On July 3, 2022 Koh Pangan was ranked the No 1 destination for people seeking a workcation (work + vacation) in a recent survey by William Russell – a website that offers health insurance, life insurance, and income protection plans for people living and working abroad. The website states Koh Phangan is the best location for working remotely.

The Borderless Office scores Koh Phangan 7 as a destination for working remotely – with a score of 10 being the highest.

While Koh Phangan could be ideal for those on a $500 monthly budget, it lacks modern amenities desired for some online businesses to thrive – dependable electricity, quality healthcare, and ease of day-to-day living that is not disrupted when riding scooters on sandy, slippery, and dangerous roads.
