Bangkok to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

The bus was very good but the boat ride was very long to go to Samui. We had to stop Kotao and other islands. But it was a beautiful experience.

The bus driver kept coughing and spitting out the window the whole time. That wasn’t really pleasant. Everything else was fine!!

It was the best bus trip in Thailand so far. The vehicle was really VIP. The seats were so comfortable that everyone could really sleep well. Blankets, food and drinks were distributed. Gladly again

We were a little skeptical after reading some of the negative reviews, but we were really happy with our experience. Yes there is no break throughout, however we had a toilet available at all times, water provided on the comfortable coach and we came prepared with snacks. For the distance you are travelling, the price is really reasonable! Would definitely use again and recommend :)

The trip went quite well , all organized, the bus goes from Bangkok to Chumphon in about 6 (in these 6 hours it never stops) they give you a small bottle of water, you then get to the ferry embarkation where you can have something to eat, the ferry stops first at Koh Tao, then Koh Phangan and finally Koh Samui.

All in all it was a good experience, but our ship had some issues so we were one hour late. The ride with the bus was good, the seats were quiet comfortable.

It was confusing at times, I felt like I didn't know what will happen next with the delay to the bus, changing of bus getting a new ticket, getting a mini bus getting on a ferry, felt like a lost sheep 🐑.
