The ferry was ok, but they offer a taxi service for 150 baht. The taxi driver refused to bring us to our hotel because it was 1 km off the main road and just dropped us there. We had to walk 20 minutes chill in the burning sun with all our luggages and backpacks. It would have taken him literally 2 minutes but the driver refused anyway. Just get a normal taxi of your hotel isn't directly on the main road that goes around the island.

Seats need updating as they are a bit worn and staff at the check in office were rude, but the staff on the ferry were very helpful and friendly so made up for it and we arrived a lot earlier than the expected which was good
