Viaristo · Thailand
Ko Samui has its own airport (USM). It is also reachable overland from 14 other places in the region.
No road reaches it: the last stretch is on water, so any “bus” here is really a bus and a boat sold together.
Privately owned airport, expensive fares. Ferry alternative via Donsak.

Most people do not go only to Ko Samui. These are worked itineraries through it — what order to visit everything in, and what the transport costs:
Getting to Ko Samui is one leg. If it is part of a longer trip, the harder question is what order to visit everything in — which decides where you fly in, where you fly out, and how much of the trip you spend moving. Viaristo works that out from the places you name.
