Ao Nang to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

SS
The transport worked fine, no problems at all. The only issue was the speed boat. It was a pretty bumpy ride, but I guess the company cannot change the weather..

Easy, I booked from ao nang to kho tao. First took a van in front of McDonald's ( there is two so check the address) I think it was 3 hours in total we had a 10 stop at a gas station. Then I was dropped at the pier for the boat to kho Tao, this one does stop in kho samui and kho phangan before the last stop in Kho Tao. It was confortable and easy.

Seat in the bus was broken.. Bus was old but we got to our destination relatively cheaply and on time.. The ferry seemed overloaded and disorganized.. not nearly enough seats for everyone.

We were unsure if our hotel was in the catchment area, but a quick message via WhatsApp confirmed that it was. Pick-up was on time and efficient. The minibus was comfortable and air conditioned. Our driver let us stop on the way for a quick toilet break when needed. The high speed catamaran was very hot when stationary, so best to have some water with you for drinking. When in transit there was a nice breeze to cool us down. Overall the trip was seamless and without complication!
