Karon to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

PS
Petr S
At 7:30 they pick up at the hotels by minibus. Only by 9 they arrive at the bus station in Phuket Town. Then they transfer to the bus and it goes very slowly to the pier. At 14:30 (scheduled an hour earlier) at the pier. The ferry is another 40 min late. At 15:15 the ferry left. At 16:15 we arrived. All in all, 9 hours of life. It is better (and if in a bargain, and cheaper) to go by cab
