Everything is fine, but no one tells us how we can book the VIP room on the ship

First Van drive (from Hotel to Busstation) drove quite recklessly despite having enough time , felt a little bit insecure. Rest of the trip was very pleasant.

Everything was smooth. Although it said on the 12go site that it was a 6 hour ferry, its actually a 4 hour bus and 1 hour speed catamaran, but we knew that before we got on anyway, wouldnt hurt to update the website so its accurate. Had the option to pay for a taxi to hotel on samui at the ticket office for 150 baht per person very reasonable. The bus journey was smooth and stopped once for rest break 30 min. The bus had ac and toilet. The boat was timely and a smooth ride. 0 complaints nice and easy good value for money, everyone polite and professional.

The bus left Phuket on time. It stops for a long time for breakfast, but arrives on time to catch the ferry. The same company offers transport on the bus to take you to your hotel in Koh Samui.
