Koh Samui to Bangkok: Direct flights by Bangkok Airways or Thai Airways — ~1.5 hrs
Within Bangkok: Use the BTS Skytrain or MRT (metro) — cheap, fast, and air-conditioned! Grab for anything off the rail network

🌊 STOP 1 — PHUKET (3 nights)

Phuket is your tropical welcome party. Think powdery beaches, insane island day trips, and a nightlife that pulses till sunrise.
