Surat Thani to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

UT
Unorganized. Had to wait at the Koh Tao pier almost 1 hour after we arrived.

Misunderstanding. I thought we are going directly with the speed boat to ko Tao. But instead we tooked the bus to an other pier, waited and tooked the boat. So much time waste

The boat was supposed to arrive at 5:45 and arrived at 6:45 and my hostel check in closed at 7 meaning I nearly was homeless for the night

Not the Companies fault, but they could have maybe warned about it. The waves were bad, like 50% of passangers got Sea sick and puked. I never get Sea sick, but man this was bad. Before a 4 hours in that boat, some communication would be good.

Very rough crossing, due to the weather, never felt so close to being so sick in my life! Managed to avoid it but top tip to other travellers, take a bag with you, sickness tablets and keep your eyes on the horizon if you can.

I traveled already with other companies and to be honest, they offered a meal etc. was ok at the ferry and the staff was nice but Boonsiri was way better, especially the travel was more comfortable for same price.
