Mr. Hinkong Travel

The kind of place you duck into when you’ve just decided where to go next. Mr. Hinkong Travel is a no-drama travel desk in the Khao San area that speaks fluent backpacker: bus + ferry combos to the Gulf islands, overnight coaches to the south, sleeper trains north, airport transfers, and quick fixes when plans change. Expect straight answers about routes and timings, and printed tickets with those familiar ferry stickers so you’re not guessing at 6am. If your compass points to Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, or Koh Samui, they’ll line up the legs so you connect cleanly at Chumphon or Surat Thani—usually with evening departures from Bangkok and morning boats across. Headed the other way? They can lock in train berths to Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, or Isaan, and help with onward flights when it’s cheaper to book locally. Regulars pop in for practical add‑ons too: extra baggage on your flight, a taxi that actually shows up on time, or a quick reprint when a hostel needs a paper confirmation. Tip: go earlier in the day to compare options and snag seats for next‑day departures, especially around Full Moon Party weeks and Thai holidays when the islands fill up. Prices are fair for the area and clearly posted—ask about open‑jaw tickets (in via Samui, out via Chumphon) if you like to keep it flexible.
