Bangkok to Thong Sala Koh Phangan Destination Reviews

GS

The drive was very cramped, the toilet in both the bus and the ferry was terrible and very dirty, vip is very recommended. We got to the dock 2 hours early, took one ferry to koh tao, from there we had to get off the ferry and switch to another to koh phangan. There is a wait of an hour and a half between the two ferries which wasn't clear, also there was an additional delay of half an hour in koh tao which was just annoying. In general it is a difficult transport to the island but has to be done. At least everything moved smoothly enough and was easy to follow.

The airconditioning in the bus was too cold. You couldn't turn it of completely or sent it the other direction. I had to wear a shirt, a shirt with long sleeves and a sweater. There weren't any stops neither..they didn't inform us about any stops. Also the point of departure was not clear, the cabdriver didn't knew where to drop me exactly. So I had to walk and search for 50 meters with all my lugage.

I took the nighttravel option to Kho Phangan and it was great, we arrived on point and the bus as well as the ferry was very comfortable. You can really be chillin there but I heard the ferryride can also be uncomfortable if the weather is stormy so maybe look out for that if you’re sensitive.

Everything was superbly organized and punctual. They even paid attention to the temperature on the bus, which was very pleasant. The only downside was that the pictures of the seats weren't entirely accurate. I'm 1.78m tall (average European height) and had very little legroom. But that's the only thing to complain about. Food and water were even provided. The team was very friendly and I felt well looked after.
