To go to Khanom, you will inevitably at some point or another have to take road transportation at least for the last tens of kilometers. From Bangkok, you can opt for a flight to Nakhon Si Thammarat (nearest) or Surat Thani and then a minivan transfer. Another option from the capital or any city on the Southern Railway line, you can take the train to Surat Thani (or even Nakhon Si Thammarat but it's a bit more complicated) and then take a van also. Much longer, there are buses to Nakhon Si Thammarat or Surat Thani from Sai Tai Mai, Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal . From Koh Tao, Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, take the ferry to Donsak and then the minivan to Nakhon Si Thammarat which will drop you off in Khanom. There are also very regular vans connecting Nakhon Si Thammarat to Khanom.

The train is the cheapest way to travel in Thailand especially in 3rd class. This is also where the contact with the population is the most interesting and incredible...
