Koh Samui Airport to Koh Phangan Destination Reviews

IA
SeaTran was quite professional about the trip. The motor of the ferry originally scheduled broke down. They quickly organized replacement speed boats. We had to wait around 45 minutes but the delay at the end was only 30. No complains about it since they handled the situation well. They also organized a transfer to our hotel in Koh Phangan for 1600 Bhat in a private van for four people. We did not find it as expensive compared to 1000-1200 Bhat that a regular, less comfortable taxi would have been. Overall, we’re satisfied with our experience.

The air conditioning doesn’t work. The furniture is falling apart, and it takes over an hour instead of the stated half hour.

Delay becuase of rain, nobody was informing, where to stand, where to wait, how long is the delay. For 30 minutes ferry, we left the hotel at 11:00 (they ask at least 2 hour before) we arrived to kho phangan at 14:30 (5.5 houres...)

We arrived fast (under 20 minutes), the road is quite bumpy although the sea was calm beacause the boat travel fast. Out luggage was thrown in a un-organized pile i. The front of the boat and the crew was sitting on the suitcases

The Trip was good, the prices not: we booked online in advance for 300.- Baht pP. At the counter of the pier the official rate was 200 Baht pP. Besides, there was no special rate for children. We would prefer a transparent policy.

I would have given it 5 stars But the men on the boat and on the pier at Thong Sala moving the bags were so careless. I was constantly worried a bag will fall into the water. One guy his bag's wheel broke off

Great service. Easy to find and we left on time. Took 25 min from Samui to Phangan, at 20h30. However the lack of communication or instructions regarding life jackets is worrying. I’m not sure even if there are some…
