Koh Samui to Surat Thani Train Station Destination Reviews

IR
The ferry trip was ok, no complaints there. The van to the train was delayed by around 20 minutes because we waited for other passengers that arrived on another ferry that docked at the same time the fan needed to leave. Needs to be better coordinating with scheduling the ferries and vans. A longer delay would’ve caused me to miss my train. The train ride wasn’t bad although I didn’t know that the lights wouldn’t be turned off during the trip which caused trouble sleeping.

It all worked out fine. Good, clean and big car- ferry. Bus waited at the ferry terminal for us and one other ferry later and brought us directly to the trainstation. We would book it again.

Be aware that you need to collect tickets in one location but you have to make your OWN way to the pier. With our other transfer (through different company) that was not the case luckily the taxi was still there so we could load everything back in and he took us to the pier. Other than that got from one end to the other with no dramas.

All good overall. One comment: check-in is required at the Phantip office one hour before departure, but the waiting room at the pier only opens 30 minutes before. This means there’s a long wait without proper facilities. Also, after checking in, you still need to walk about 10 minutes to the pier with your luggage — not ideal. It would be helpful if tickets could be digitized or if there were an agent directly at the pier.

We spent two hours in horrible old ferry. After that we spent 3,5 hours in bus for getting train station. We stopped everywhere. From Samui to train station it was more than 5,5 hours

12:15从酒店出发,17:35到达surat station。整个行程准时,衔接合理,车况很好。 买联程票比单独打车去码头省一些钱。taxi是toyota haice,司机会准时在酒店等候,到达码头前会在phantip办公室帮你check-in。到达nathon pier直接登船即可,seatran的大船很稳,不会晕船,2小时左右到达donsak pier. 下船后坐phantip巴士即可到达火车站或者机场,donsak到surat station车程约1小时。整躺旅程不需要额外担心什么,非常愉快的体验

The hotel pickup was on time. We even got to catch an earlier ferry than we were scheduled. But after reaching Don Sak pier, we had to sit on the streets for half an hour at the place where Phantip buses are supposed to pick as up. No signage if we were waiting at the right place. Overall, all good.
