Bangkok to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

We booked at the last minute in order not to have to worry about the connections between the train, the taxi and the ferry and it worked well. The communication through WhatsApp with Van2Go was excellent and really helped us get there with tips and advice so that our journey was good.

The bus itself is relatively comfortable, although they were blasting the AC which at some point got quite cold. There is enough legroom, reclining chairs and charging outlets. You get a small water and a little snack. There is a toilet which is very helpful (no paper though so bring your own). What was unpleasant is that the bus arrives at 3 am to the port and the ferry is at 7 am. It would be much nicer if the bus left at 10 pm from Bangkok so we don’t have to be woken up in the middle of the night and wait for the boat.

The trip went smoothly. Most of the time we traveled on a bus and last 2 hours on a ferry. The bus is comfortable inside: seat with a table.

Got us to where we needed to go. Bus was pretty comfortable and we were able to sleep on it, with the backrests going pretty down. I would not pay for the VIP ticket again though, it's unclear to me what the difference was to a normal ticket. Waiting at the port from 3.45 to 6.45 when boarding started wasn't terrible either, since we had bug spray, it was warm, and there were a lot of different benches to choose from. Boat ride was also comfortable and it wasn't overbooked, so it felt safe.

I booked the VIP hoping for a comfier seat but it was the same bus and seats as non vip - the only perks was wifi, that didn’t work, and a meal coupon that I didn’t use cause the stop was at 1am and I wasn’t hungry. We arrived at the Chumphon stop at 3am and then got a small taxi for 40 minutes to the pier. If you want to try sleep, don’t book this bus! I don’t know why a night bus would be from 7pm - 3am and not at times when people can actually sleep.

The bus was in very good condition and had plenty of legroom (I'm 1.9m tall). A blanket, water, and a small snack were included. My only criticism is that there's only one break and then you have to spend two hours at the pier. This could be better organized.

Transport vehicles were not clear. We had a bus from Bangkok which was fine, then at 3 am had to get a Tuk-tuk for 50mins to the ferry port, once we arrive at the port had to wait for 2 hours. There we no snacks as paid for and the "meal" was a token where we stopped at 1 am at a canteen area, very poor choice and all meals were cold. The transport got us safely from A to B, hence the 2 stars, but not worth the money.
