Koh Tao to Bangkok Destination Reviews

I travelled for 11h, but it was super comfy - especially the bus was really great. We even arrived 30 min earlier. Great experience!

It was a great value for the price but we got there 1,5 hours later than it said when we booked and there was little information about the trip. It is a boat to Chumpton and then a bus to Hua Hin and then Bangkok

Good way to get to Bangkok from Koh Tao. The main issue for me is the lack of information you get when you book your trip, like scheduled stops and transfers.

I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve done one of these in the past and the experience was horrendous. The ferry was delayed due to weather conditions, but they compensated for time as much as possible and welcomed us onto a VIP bus on the other side.

You take a ferry to Chumphon and then it’s a 8-10 hour bus ride. We got stuck in traffic. And they drop you off just on the side of a street in Bangkok. Nothing terribly bad happened. We were stuck in traffic for a while which means we didn’t arrive until around 12:30-1AM. But it is not a direct ferry that is all I need you to know.
