Koh Samui to Khao Sok Destination Reviews

10 min walk from ticket collection to pier to make sure you arrive with plenty of time. Have to change busses which was a bit annoying but overall it was a smooth journey and we arrived on time.

Chaotic but fine. We got dropped in Surat Thani and waited for our connection to Khao Sok with limited communication, other than “wait 20 minutes”. The minivan from Surat Thani to Khao Sok itself was fine, with a few extra errand stops by the driver, but this seems to be normal! Wasn’t a fairly smooth ride and affordable for the price.

The ferry to bus transition was absolutely carnage , no signs or notices or any destination on the buses just having to line up and ask every bus , also dropped off for an hour in between with no explanation or how long until the bus will come

Catamaran was late, so was put on a speed boat, only to have to wait for the catamaran Booked boat and van, which became boat > bus > van, meaning we arrived 90 mins late Driver at the end didn’t take us to the destination on the map, but stopped 1.6km away and charged 50 baht per person to go to the original destination

Sea train was great. Very comfortable. Bus to Surat Thani was very comfortable and pleasant. Min bus to Khao sok was not good at all. The driver stopped every 5km to try and pick up and squeeze more ppl onto the mini bus. Eventually we complained but it made no difference to him. The driver was rude. Drove fast in awkward places and the bus had no shocks so it felt like we where being flicked around the roads.

It was fine way by ferry and minibus. There is only no need reason to come early like 1 hour before. 20-30 minutes is ok

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.
