Koh Tao to Bangkok Destination Reviews

Mia B

Ferry ride is fast and comfortable with different seating options inside or outside. There is a kiosk. Remember sun screen if you choose to seat on the sun deck. The bus was a modern double decker with good seats and suspension, making it quite a comfortable ride. There is a break at the main land pier between ferry arrival and bus departure, but just a few food and drink options so the queue can be long. The bus stops after around 3 hours at a rest stop with many different food alternatives and good restroom capacity. For me, this bus ride was just a little too long (almost 8 hours), but the bus was as comfortable as a regular bus can be.

Boat was comfortable but the coach wasn’t. It’s arrived in Bangkok 1hr 15 mins later than it should have. The ferry left on time from Koh Tao so I have no idea why the supposed journey took that much longer. Only explanation I can think of is the operator lied about the total time to encourage more people to use their service. Other than it being late had no other problems.

Fine trip, though bus part is long and uncomfortable buses. We also arrived 11.30PM, not 10.30PM (one hour late). No updates from start during, but generally safe driving, safe arrival and very good stopover spot.
