Bangkok to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

Luise

The Bus drive was very good and the organisation also but the ferry experience was very bad. So many people were puking and the ferry was moving so bad that you couldn’t even walk. The staff seemed to be used to it because they had a lot of plastic bags prepared. Also you had to wait a long time for the ferry.

We had a great experience! We were a bit stressed because of some reviews but the bus was very comfortable and it had a toilet. The boat was also fine, it was big, clean and not too rocky. The boat ride quite long tho because of all the stops. Each stop is pretty lengthy.

The bus from Bangkok to Koh Samui was excellent. It was clean, had a restroom, free Wi-Fi, and USB charging ports. The management was very well organized, everything was smooth and fast with no issues at all. I will definitely use this service again!
