Bangkok to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

JL
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!

The Bus was great, everything was on time and worked fine! Sadly, the air conditioning above my (very comfortable seat) was broken and couldn’t be turned off. I tried turning it away from me but was still freezing even tho I wore long clothes.

It's a shame that it's not listed that the ferry stops at other islands before reaching Koh Samui.

The bus arrived ~30 minutes late, but we were asked to check in 1 hour before the stated departure time. Other passengers, however, arrived within 20-30 minutes of the bus leaving, with no problems. Therefore we were stuck with our luggage for an extra hour and a half waiting..

I sum everything up here. First I found that the communication was overall lacking on the basis that most of the time I didn't know when where and what I needed to do and go there was nobody guiding or giving information about what we needed to do and it seems the other passengers I spoke to didn't either. Second I found the overall comfort of the coach was average. I was disappointed with the amount of time that we had to wait for the ferry. This amounted to over two hours of waiting when we got there again the communication was not good. I had an issue on the ferry with how I couldn't have my hand luggage back with me. It was taken to the luggage section by a member of staff and at this point I knew where it was after a quick nap and looking for my bag it was clear that all the bags had been moved by another member of staff at the end of the journey. I couldn't find this back and the help received from members of staff was really poor. I think it would be fair to say that they were quite dismissive and rude. Overall I think that the trip is relatively good value for money compared with other options however the service could greatly be improved with a few changes one being an itinerary of the trip included with an email this would help with a lot of the confusion and peace of mind. Also some kind of voucher swap when you handover your suitcase would be helpful not that it did happen but it just removes any risks with regard to taking incorrect luggage which would also improve peace of mind. I hope that this review is somewhat helpful.

The bus was quite comfortable, but unfortunately, there were cockroaches on the boat. The seats were uncomfortable. But overall, it was okay.

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.
