Koh Phangan to Surat Thani Airport Destination Reviews

A
The bus connection from the Ferry to the airport was the poorest compared to 3 other trips i've made like it. The bus took 30 minutes to leave the port, the driver stopped constantly, just to get himself lunch and midtown (all other companies go around Surat Thani centre).
