Phan-tas-tip! Very well organised at the Phantip office in Surat Thani. Office was 9 min from our hostel so much better than travelling to the airport for pick up. Saved time and money. Staff are very welcoming. They offered hotel transfer in Kho samui for 150bhat pp which is cheaper than anything we could find online and significantly cheaper than a grab or local taxi. We got a sticker to say we were going tomato samui so we got on the right coach. We got another sticker to say ‘hotel transfer in Kho samui’ to show the driver when we landed on the island where to take us. Comfortable double decker coach with leather seat and air con and below deck luggage space to Donsak ferry terminal. Dropped off and walked on as a passenger. Ferry has leather seats inside. Clean toilets and a shop onboard. Phantip mini bus waiting for us under sheltered walkway as soon as we walked off the ferry. ~1hour comfortable leather seats and air con small mini bus dropped off right outside our hostel. 10/10 service
