Koh Lipe to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

ER
We got a speedboat to Pakbara pier from Koh Lipe, then got in a minivan, then after an hour they told us to get into another guys car at the service station who then took us to a minivan station. Got into another minivan where the driver kept picking up friends/their parcels on the way and then after an hour or two, pulled over on the side of a motorway and told us to get into another guys car who took us to the port where we got the ferry to Samui. Was an interesting experience that kept us on our feet due to zero information about the route and vehicles involved until the the moment of the switches. Got to Samui almost 2 hours later than stated but was fine as had nothing planned. Everyone involved was very friendly and the journey was pretty comfortable overall. Note the speedboat was rocky and people were sick but only lasted 1.5 hours. Overall would recommend.
