In the transfer there Is no information available. No one tells you anything. You have to be watching where a Phantyp letter Is an ask Anyone everything all the Time.

The driver had my name, but was reluctant to leave without a voucher (which I did not have). The PDF from 12go was not sufficient. In the end, he did provide the service, but took a picture of me in front of my destination.

The bus to get to Surat Thani was delayed and we did not arrive on schedule at least 1 hour 15 minutes late.

Easily booked ferry crossing tickets the night before, received confirmation. Had to goto Phantip Samui to collect tickets. Was given a map on where ferry was departing. On the otherside, bus picked us up and dropped us at Phantip Surat Thani.

Why do I book online if I have to head to the office to get the same ticket as paper version. Waste of time and money. On the ferry: AC freezing inside. Outside loud music blaring. Upon arrival: Bus station without shade in glaring sun. No schedule, no staff to inform. 1.5hrs waiting time for the bus. Chaos, poor communication and exhaustion. Book Seatran if you can. Way better experience with them.
