Koh Phangan to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

Ferry and bus were on-time and service was as promised, but the bus could have been cleaner and the driver more friendly.

The ferry didn't go to the Tapee Pier, it went to the Donsak pier and from there we were put in a coach for a bus ride of 60+ minutes from Donsak to Tapee.....

You didn't go to train station first. Took too long and went away from train station to airport even though the train station was closer.

Very unfriendly lady at the shop when we arrived at their office with the phangan tour bus. 0 communication on how I‘ll get to the train station from there. Have to pay for the toilet and don‘t even get toilet paper. Got picked up by a minivan in the end but arrived at the train station nearly 1 hour later than it said on my voucher.

The ferry check in at Koh Phangan was quick, just scan QR code and enter the gate to board. Plenty of seats inside and out. Inside the cab seats were decent in terms of comfort, the air conditioning was great in some areas and lacking in others. Mini mart on board had everything like 7-11 which was nice. There are lots of spots on around the ferry to enjoy the views. Foot massage was also available on board. We left 30 minutes late and then had to wait seaside at Donsak Pier while another ferry de-boarded, loaded and took sail. All in all ended up about an hour late on Seatran, no fault of Phantip. Phantip had busses ready to transport at the pier. They were well organized and efficient. They even allow passengers 10 minutes to make purchases at Pier market and food stands. The bus ride to Surat Thani was good, a comfortable ride on board. Great air conditioning temperature. We took 75 minutes to arrive at Phantip office in Surat Thani Town. Overall it was a good trip and I would book again. Highly recommended!
