Southbound Train from BKK

My first time trip to Thailand, does anyone know of a southbound train
from BKK towards Koh Samui etc,
any information on where to catch it / how much / how long it takes
would be most appreciated.

BKK Hua Lomphong 08.05, arrives at Chumphon 14.19, take the ferry to
Samui.

Or continue the train trip all the way to Surat Thani, arrives there
16.20. Take the bus and ferry to Samui.

Probably the quickets way is to take the night train to Chumphon (see
schedules) (take a first class sleeper, fares are low). The train is
leaving from Bangkok's main station.

You will arrive at Chumphon around 4.00 am and at daybreak the
Longprayah company http://www.lomprayah.com/ have a transfer bus to
their Catamaran Pier. Upon arrival at Chumphon they have their ticket
office open as well as the station's snackbar, so you do not have to
sit in the dark.
The busride to the pier takes about 20-30 minutes. From there you have
a catamaran connection to Koh Samui via Koh Tao and Koh Pagnan.
The total sailing time will be around 3 - 3 1/2 hours.
Another possibility is to go on to Surat Thani and from there continue
to Koh Samui but I think that is not any quicker.
