Donsak to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

MC
Firstly, I bought a more expensive fast ferry ticket, but instead of taking 45 minutes, we took a regular ferry, almost an hour. Secondly, we were supposed to leave at 11:00, but we actually left at 11:30... hence the lower-than-expected rating. I should have paid for the regular ferry, not the more expensive fast ferry.

Very easy to get Seasick, boat moves much more than a regular ferry. Organization was not the best, all small luggage is places inside the ferry in the middle and the big luggage outside at the rear of the boat. Smell of fuel in the cabin.

We booked tickets in advance, but arrived about 3 hours early on donsak pier. The staff from Raja made no problem and changed our boarding time from 4 to 1pm. The boat and interior are old but it works. Thank you for the 3 hours extra on Samui!
