Koh Phangan to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

The Seatran ferry ride was great. The Phantip transfer from the port to Surat Thani was okay, but beware, they try to rip off tourists! First, we waited far too long at Donsak Port, and then, even though it's only a 60-minute trip, we stopped for 10-15 minutes at a rest area after 30 minutes so everyone could do some shopping. Instead of the agreed-upon drop-off point, we drove a few minutes further to a place with lots of taxis who were trying to bring you somewhere. I had to walk back to the city. I won't be using Phantip again!

I didn’t get my refund for a ferry that I couldn’t go on because I am sick. I even booked a new ferry but they wouldn’t let me get the money for the previous one back, even though I cancelled it before the boat left. Additionally, the names of the different locations are sometimes so similar that you mistake them. I booked a wrong ferry once because of this. It’d be better if the names of the locations you can travel to were specified

Always a lot of tired backpacks that need to be in a seat. Workers HAVE to warn clients that seats are for SEATING not for backpacks.

1 hour delay on the ferry and would have been better to know beforehand so could plan to eat somewhere than just sit at the ferry area no refreshments

There was big delay, not enough seats. Transfer to bus that was not pre informed and smelled like pee. Also the check in place is very far from the pier
