Everything went smoothly. No problems along the way. I recommend it.

Bei theoretischen 3 h Fahrzeit - 3 Stunden Verspätung! Der Bus hat mehrfach angehalten, weitere Passagier und um Pakete mitzunehmen bzw. auszuladen. Dabei wurden Umwege von mehr als 30 km in kauf genommen. Wenn Man zu zweit ist kommt Taxi nicht teurer. Viele Fahrgäste waren stinksauer 😡.

Even though you need to transfer 3 times + a ferry, the whole process was easy. There was always some employee to guide you for the next transfer, and vehicles were comfortable too

The trip went well, we even arrived early! However, at the end, we had to pay extra to be dropped off at our hotel when it should have been included in the reservation!

Quite hectic with bus transfers. Didn’t seem like they had the proper number of vehicles initially and there was lots of confusion about who would be going where and at what time but we made it to proper location on time.

Air conditioner of the bus was not that good.

Experience is somewhere between poor and average - We were given very little information about where to go after receiving our tickets at the Koh Samui office so we just hoped for the best. After the ferry, we got told to go to a van
