Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Samui Tour?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Everything was perfect except for the driver on arrival in Koh Samui... he drove right past my hotel without dropping me off, and when I told him to stop, that it was my hotel, he said later... In the end, I wasted an hour dropping everyone off even though my hotel was the first stop.

Ferry Ferry + Bus, Samui Tour, Jul 3, 2026
I was meant to arrive in Lipa Noi Koh Samui at approximately 2.30pm. It is no after 4.30pm and I am still not at my destination. At 1.30pm we still hadn’t even arrived at the ferry port. I understand delays may happen give or take 30mins or so. But this was just ridiculous after leaving at 9.30am for a 3 hour journey, we were waiting for ages at certain stops in Ao Nang waiting on people to board the bus who clearly were not at their pick up point on time, we then had to stop at the tour companies office because some people on board had excess luggage cases and the company needed to charge them an extra cost causing further delays. In turn, it caused major havoc to my travel plans, missing connections. This is not acceptable when you book specific times.

Ferry Ferry + Van, Samui Tour, Jun 18, 2026
The physical journey is fine, the bus was clean and drove safely, as was the boat. Our main issue was with the signage / clarity on where we needed to go for each stop. We missed our original bus as we was in the wrong place (thankfully we was able to get the next one) simply because the information was not provided clearly. The contact details are not clear either and we could not get through to them. The other issue was when we arrived on the island trying to find our transfer was hard, we was given a sign to look for however it did not depart from this sign, instead another therefore it was hard to know if this was the intended included travel.

The coordinates that we got for the ferry sent us to the wrong pier. We would have missed ferry only the taxi came back to tell us we were at the wrong pier. There was very little information to.work with and we didn't know the ferry company that was bringing us but the taxi driver recognised the logo. It was all very stressful in the heat and under pressure. Apart from that, the trip went well once we found the correct location of ferry departure

​The transfer from Koh Samui to Surat Thani Airport went perfectly fine. We had both the ferry and bus tickets in the app. We even arrived at the airport earlier than planned. The bus is on the smaller side and doesn't have a restroom. However, there was a bathroom stop along the way (though probably because the driver needed to use it).

Location of where to get boat on Google maps was incorrect leading to a lot of confusion and stress. Journey was OK and bus was easy to find after for transfer.

It's easy to buy a ticket and get on the ferry. There's an air-conditioned area on the ferry and outside, and you can also buy food at the mini-store. Everything was on time, I recommend it.

The bus driver was going at high speed (close to the limit) and drove dangerously. Very bumpy road and low quality small bus.

Easy and well organised. You scan your QR code to get onto the ferry, no need to go to the ticket office first. Once the ferry docks you follow signs to bus transfers and I showed my ticket to the staff and got on the bus. Arrived at the airport 30 mins ahead of schedule

Didn‘t need to go for a ticket, the online ticket is the actual ticket. Very often you have to go to the counter so I checked it but stood there for nothing. And at the pier in Surat Thani it would be nice to have some instructions how to get to the bus. I followed the signs transport airport. All gone well and smooth.

El autobús salió con retraso, las maletas iban agrupadas de malas maneras en un asiento, el personal de la estación no es muy agradable. Pagamos la compañía mas cara por la hora, pero nos dio la sensación de que cojas la que cojas luego te meten a todos en la misma furgoneta, hizo paradas en la carretera para dejar a gente local y dejar paquetes, algo extraño.

Le bus est très facile à trouver de l aéroport. Le personnel est très aimable et les bagages sont très bien gérés. En revanche, il faisait très froid dans le bateau (clim a 20°) et le bateau est arrivé a destination avec 30 minutes de retard

J’avais payer pour un billet qui devait m’emmener jusqu’à mon hôtel finalement j’ai dû filer 500 bath au chauffeur pour qu’il veuille bien m’y emmener. et pour réussir à dormir dans un train de nuit qui s’arrête aussi souvent et lumière allumé toute la nuit j’ai du dormir 45’ c’est une expérience mais pas la meilleure
