The journey was very bumpy, probably due to the weather conditions. We were soaked from head to toe. There was no barrier to prevent the water from entering. However, we would like to point out that the staff was very helpful and attentive.

Surat-Tao Late 30 minutes with arrival to Koh Tao. You pay 900 for literally a trip that makes 2 stops onw to Koh Tao (Samui, KPG). Transitions–no questions. Boat Seats–might not have inside if last in the queue.

Waited at the pier, which had a small store to get some food. Bus took us to the boat and boat got to the island. Journey was just fine. On the boat you can also buy food and drinks. If you have a backpack, would recommend putting your raincover on for protection of your bag (if you care about that).

We were a bit late, but that was ok. Good to know that you have to transfer boat at koh phanang and they do an extra stop.

The trip was ok. We wanted to go to Koh Tao but arrived five hours later then said. We had a stay on Koh phangan for more than four hours. Would had been nice to know that before. The sea was kind of rough but the captain was navigating well and the crew took care of everybody who got seasick
