Khao San to Koh Samet Destination Reviews

Our Bus was one hour delayed. They said it was because of an accident but we have arrived at 9 am, the bus was there, the driver was there but it wasn’t until 10:30 till we left (scheduled was 9:30) we arrived at Koh samet at 14:45. so more than 1,5 hour later than expected and our day was basically spent with traveling. The driver was also dropping some people of on the way which made the whole drive even longer. Would not book again!

Mini bus service was so horrible. The driver's safety behaviors with operating the vehicle, routes management, he talked on call whole 4 hours, we had car broke down moments as well as unsafe bumps along the way, he stopped at many gates along the way too. However, speedboat service was alright but we were not asked to wear life jackets.

It was very well organized. Once you find the counter you are lead to the bus, then at the pier you have to show your ticket at the ticket counter, they send you to the boat. The bus is okay, but the leg space is mini.
