Koh Tao to Surat Thani Airport Destination Reviews

Very good experience, price is the same as the ones sold by the offices in Koh Tao or on Lomprayah’s website. Check in, onboarding etc. Was on time and well organised. Would definitely do it again!

You have to know and be prepared for what you are signing up for. You sleep in huge room with dozens of people. The beds are very hard, and there’s even beds on the floor. Get to the pier fast if you don’t want to sleep on the ground. “double” bed is extremely small, if you want to sleep comfortably, take separate beds. You have to sleep with your backpack and all stuff. You can only leave your big luggage on the enetrance to the boat. If you sleep on higher bed, it will be hot during the night. You are given blanket and pillow, blanket isn’t clean and pillow is hard. After the boat there’s a few people on the pier and you have to follow one that’s with your travel company. They didn’t say anything, but you get driven to their office and you wait for another van. Wish they could tell us what we are waiting for and for how long, coz everyone was confused. Overall, it’s a cheap way to get to the airport during the night, but be prepared for the amenities.

The journey was very easy and organised. Only one boat from Koh Tao to Surat Thani pier (it stopped at Phangan and Samui for people to get off and on). Well organised at the pier for what coach to get and made it on time. Would recommend! Staff also very helpful.

The trip was perfect. The boat was super fast even when the weather conditions were not optimal. Then the van was also super fast and we arrived at the airport on time. The staff was very nice and very helpful with the luggage. I had a problem with my email address and I realised that I did not have the voucher, but the company had already our tickets and we could travel without problems. I recommend it.

Everything very well organized by Lompraya. Boat trip on time. Upon arrival at Donsak Pier the buses were ready and we were directed to the right bus by Lompraya employees. On the bus itself the destination was clearly indicated and before boarding the bus the ticket was checked again: impossible to accidentally board the wrong bus and I do not understand other reviews that it was unclear. Totally fool proof this combination ticket boat-bus! The bus was a comfortable coach and arrived at the airport at 3 o'clock, half an hour later than scheduled but just in time for the flight. Absolutely recommended.

The night ferry was a very nice experience, I have slept in my little bed with the sheet and the pillow provided (it is always cold in this case so think about), but also because it was not full (or could had been a more intense experience). There was some confusion from the transportation from the pier to the airport and we did it with an open old vehicle not a van as written, but at the end everything was on time. I could do it again

You should know, if you take the nightboat, you're in rows of 30 people on very small little matrasses the whole night. There were no bunkbeds etc .

The boat was fine. It was an experience on it self ( but don't expect high level comfort). When we arrived at the pier everything was great. There was a lady organizing al the busses or taxi's. We where at the airport before the time that we expected, great!!
