Pattaya to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

We traveled from Pattaya to Koh Samui. The entire trip was divided into three sections (bus, coach, and speedboat) and was very good organized. The price also included a snack and a small meal. The only thing that could be improved were the breaks between sections - 2-3 hours seems a bit too long to me.

My black wallet which had around 6500 baht was lost on the coach before we got on the ferry. It’s black leather. It was soaking wet. It has a button down pocket on the inside. There’s a possibility it has something with my name inside. I’m happy to collect it if it’s been found. I am at Kohsamui for the next 3 days.

All connections were secured until final destination, with snacks and breakfast. Just be mindful of your big luggages because sometimes they take it out even if it’s not your final stop, esp during the BKK stopover.

Creat bus operators recommended We were with my girlfriend on the bus from Bangkok to Surat Thani with TravelBusAsia and then on Ferry to Koh Samui. Great expierience overall. Comfy seats, great staff, water and one meal was given to us as well. You can even make yourself a coffee or tea on the bus. Driver drove safe and fluently. The toilet was on the bus as well in case someone is wondering.
