Good experience. Coach and boat were on time. Good connections. The speedboat is a bit choppy, so if you suffer from sea sickness or are nervous on boats, take the ferry instead.

The boat was great and the overall service too but bus was not so confortable. We also arrived 30 minutes later.

The driver stopped on the way picking new passengers over 8 times causing 40 min delay. The trip from Ekkamai to Nadan Pier was direct - no stops.
