Koh Samui to Khao Sok Destination Reviews

OC
we did a van from our hotel in koh samui to the port, then a ferry, then a bus to surat thani town and then a minivan to khao sok. It felt that the transfers could've been minimized, or at least the waiting times between them, since we had to wait for about an hour twice. The vehicles were all comfortable except for the monivan from surat thani to khao sok, whose AC was very weak and the seats were very uncomfortable.

The phantip office where you have to collect your tickets before getting the ferry is annoyingly far away from the pier, luckily our driver waited and took us straight there though. The ferry we were on was very large, smooth ride, shop on board and had toilets. We were then transferred onto a large bus after exiting the ferry, after a while driving we all had to get off and swap into a van than took us to Khao sok Overall by Thai standards the trip was fairly good but it'd a shame they make you swap transport and wait around

Whole trip had 3 transport changes. 1. Ferry was fine 2.From pier to Surat Thani we had really mean driver, who screamed at passengers. 3. The third mini van was very uncomfortable. We were crammed in the back along with all the passengers' luggage. Additionally, it was very hot inside.

Simply the worst journey I have had in my time travelling south east Asia. The ferry was absolutely fine, it’s the company Raja use for the transfer between Donsak and Khao Sok that is the issue. There was 5 (!!!) different forms of transport to get on for this part of the journey, upon asking why we have to change again, I was greeted by a very angry man who kept saying what’s your name aggressively.

Everything went very smooth and we were always pointed to the right vans during our two transfers. We even arrived half an hour early on our destination. The only thing that was less pleasant was that the second minibus smelled like feet the entire time

Very grumpy van driver from Pier to Surat Thani. Not friendly at all? Long wait in Surat Thani for next van.

Taxi and ferry where excellent. Right on time and fast transfer. The minivan from the pier to surathani was fine as well. At surathani, we had to wait for almost 1 hout and we needed to pay 280TB extra because we have luggage om wheels, which is a lot of money! We were aware that we might had to pay a little extra, but not this much. Moreover, it felt quite unfair since our bags were just as big as some of the backpacks. The second minivan took a detour, but stopper on the road for a toilet break, which was nice.
