Koh Samui to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

The overall journeys went ok, but there were too many people and not enough staff at the "check-in" point (not the staff fault) in Koh Samui and once we arrived at the Port of Surat Thani, it was very chaotic and disorganised to understand which bus was going where having to ask multiple times and individuals but we made it. I would recommend to Phantip to not require passengers to have to check-in at the office when all tickets have been bought online already and advise passengers how to proceed right away to the ferries or buses to save time and hassle.

Comfy bus, at the end dropped at the hotel. It was clear where to go , they shout :) and see the sticker on your shirt which says where you are going.

departure and arrival were fine. we came to a place where we had to wait, just fine with waiting. But we ended up waiting for two hours and did not hear notice when we were leaving. The car was good.

During the bus trip after the ferry someone went through one of our bags. This was the only moment we were not with the bag. The bag was in the luggage compartment of the bus so it had to be a member of the staff. Nothing seems to be missing. Just wanted to mention it!

Boat was 1 hour late departing and then took an hour longer on the boat crossing so in the end we were 2 hours late. Not sure if the boat was perhaps not working properly because it was definitely NOT travelling at a good speed and this might explain the delays?

The ferry was late, the process to board was really long and unnecessarily complicated, our bags were literally thrown into a pile. We then got to the terminal to change to a coach and the representative stuck the sticker on our skin which fell off because we were sweaty and we almost weren’t allowed onto the coach even though we had all of our tickets & bookings printed out. The coach stank of urine. Once we got to krabi, we were dropped off in a bush and then had to fight though a crowd to get our bags. We then had to find out how to get our connection to ao nang which was basically just being shouted at in thai. We got to our location but it was a very very very stressful process.

Nice and easy journey, and friendly staff. However it would have been nice to know the departure time for the bus, as we were waiting over 1 hrs.

Was good. Only thing is the long waits at the pier when you pre book taxi from hotel. But getting them to pick you up really takes out the headache. Even when I had the wrong hotel pick up, due to similar hotel names , the hotel called and the taxi came back for us.
