Getting from Hua Hin to Koh Phangan is the mission in this travel day video. Dave and Kim drive to Chumphon, stop at the Must See Valley and Cafe for lunch, ride the Lomprayah Ferry past Koh Tao, and arrive at their beachfront bungalow at the Sea Scene Resort on Koh Phangan.

The Drive to Chumphon

The journey starts with a drive from Hua Hin south to Chumphon, the main jumping off point for ferries to the Gulf islands. Along the way the couple makes a delightful stop at the picturesque Must See Valley and Cafe for a quick lunch, a handy waypoint for anyone driving the same route.

The Lomprayah Ferry Route

From Chumphon, the Lomprayah Ferry crosses the Gulf of Thailand, stopping at Koh Tao before continuing to Koh Phangan. The video shows the boarding process and the views from the water, giving first timers a clear picture of how the ferry leg works.

Arriving at Sea Scene Resort

On arrival, a shuttle takes the couple to their charming beachfront bungalow at the Sea Scene Resort. It is a satisfying end to a full travel day, and the bungalow sets up the island adventures that follow in the channel's other Koh Phangan videos.
