Driver drove well but had some phone calls and a device was beeping through out the night. The ship seats were not very comfortable. Not much room for patrons to rest their heads and arms after a long night on the bus. I definitely threw up as well.

Bus journey was wonderful. Everything was on time and comfortable buses. But reached Surat thani pier by 5am and had to change ships 3 times to reach Koh Samui and reached by 1pm. They have not mentioned that we will be travelling to koh tao and koh phangan first and had to wait and change ferries. Also AC was not ON from koh Phangan to Ko samui which was exhausted journey.
