The journey from Bangkok to Koh Tao consists of two parts: from Bangkok to Chumphon and from the pier at Chumphon to Koh Tao by boat. For those who would like to visit Koh Samui and Koh Phagnan first, there is a boat to the resort from Suratthani instead of Chumphon. The most favoured way of getting to the resort on Koh Tao from Bangkok via Chumphon is to use the bus/boat combination, the tickets for which are available from many travel agencies on Thanon Khao San.
