Good experience.
Coach and boat were on time.
Good connections.
The speedboat is a bit choppy, so if you suffer from sea sickness or are nervous on boats, take the ferry instead.

The driver stopped on the way picking new passengers over 8 times causing 40 min delay. The trip from Ekkamai to Nadan Pier was direct - no stops.
