Koh Tao to Surat Thani Airport Destination Reviews

On time and seamless travel experience. Not as comfortable as the bigger ferry, but you get there quicker so it’s a trade off.

Very good organization. The bed were comfortable and the personnel precise. They don’t speak that much but they are reliable, so trust them :) Also the timing was perfectly as scheduled. Super!

The organization of the speedy boat was not that great like the express ferry. Please remember to take medication for sea sick. The ride can be really jumpy.

Nightboat’s bed was not too comfortable, thereby making it very hard for me to sleep. Operator was on time, van was comfortable and modern, arrival at the airport 5 min early :)

Lomprayah was 45min later than foreseen at the airport without a special reason. On the way up they also ran one hour behind schedule (again without a specific reason).

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!
