Bangkok to Koh Tao

There are two main routes to get to Koh Tao, depending on whether you wish to fly via Koh Samui (much faster and more convenient and not as expensive as you might think) or take surface transport via Chumphon (cheaper, with the option of seeing some other places en-route if you're not in any hurry).

Flying: Fly from Bangkok to Koh Samui (a neighbouring island), then take a ferry to Koh Tao.

Bus: Take the bus from Bangkok to Chumphon, connecting with a ferry to Koh Tao.

Train: Take the train south to Chumphon with the option of making stops en-route, then take a ferry to Koh Tao.
