Bangkok nach Koh Samet mit dem fähre, bus, minibus

Hat alles gut geklappt. Recht pünktlich. Nett. Hilfsbereit.

My trip started as expected at 9:30 at Mama Travel Office at Khao San Road. We picked up a couple of people and were on the highway at at like 11. After the bus driver ask people if they want to be dropped off at their hotel and charged them extra money for that, he ask me to get out of the car at a random shop. First I was confused and couldn't react as fast. A second later the woman from the shop told me to wait 1.5h to get picked up by another bus. Mama Travel was supposed to drop me at 2pm on Koh Samed. But I arrived by 4pm at the Nadan Pier and had to wait another hour until the boat started. It was 6:30pm when I arrived at my hotel...I mean if you want a cheap trip I guess you cant expect to be on time. Still I was a little disappointed but at the end it's my vacation and I didn't let that tour ruin it. ???? If you have no money and don't care about the time I would recommend Mama travel. If not pay so.e more and you probably would be faster at the beach ????

We had problems finding the right McDonald's because we didn't know there were twondering of them on the Khao san Road. But the bus ride was OK, air-conditioning and wifi included. We switched to a Minibus which got us to the bureau next to the pier. The service to have a (expensive! ) speedboat get us right to our apartment wold have been faster but after 1,5 hours of waiting the regular boat was ready to get us to Koh Samet. At the pier on Koh Samet you have to pay a fee of 20 BHT per person( and to get to the beaches you have to go through the national park which costs 200 BHT per person for about a week). The journey from Bangkok to Koh Samet was OK, but one needs to be prepared for extra-costs. (Also you shouldn't believe that a taxi from the pier to your hotel is that expensive - it's a lot cheaper than taking the speedboat)

Very nice driver. He contacted me via WhatsApp on the arrival time. Communication was uncomplicated. Very careful driver. Always felt safe. 5 stars!

Super... Alles schnell und unkompliziert..

The bus arrived way too late in Ban Phe (at the time we we’re supposed to be at the pier). Also, we were sitting on the boat for an hour before it left because the Thai people had to load a ton of stuff onto this boat.
