Koh Tao to Phuket Destination Reviews

Great service from Koh Tao to my hostel in Kata Beach. The transition from ferry to van was easy as they communicated the meeting point well and someone was waiting for me.

The ferry was great, but the bus afterwards was uncomfortable. Plus, the driver was going really fast. We also had a tire issue with our bus. We arrived about 30 minutes later.

Our driver Ship (302395) arrived on time to pick us after the boat and we were able to arrive a bit earlier than the expected to our accomodation. We stoped a couple of times for toilet and the ride was good. The driver was friendly even with the limited English.

Everything was on time, transfer went smoothly. When we arrived in Phuket there was transfer ready for a good rate te bring us to the hotel. Boat was good, bus was not that comfortable, but ride was about 5 hours and we stopped once.

Super comfortable ans well organize. It went betterbthan we expected. Speed brat was nice and on time. There is staff everywhere to point you in the right direction. It is super easy to get around. Once moved to bus, ride was also really nice. We stopped 2 times, for a bathroom break 5min, and 30min break so we had enough time to grab quick lunch. We asked od they can stop for us close to Phuket airport and they did. They stop on point where there are taxi drivers, 7/11 and atm so it was super easy to grab a taxi and go to the airport. Great service and great value for money. Highly recommend

The ferrys worked perfect but the bus from Surat Thani to Phuket town didn't end at Phuket Town as indicated online but 5km far from the airport at a highway station. I had to get myself a taxi to the airport and then take another bus there to get to Phuket town.
