Surat Thani Town to Koh Phangan Destination Reviews

AL
We were expected to show up 30 min prior to the expected departure of 06:00 am at the phantip office. We showed up at 05:30 but the office was firmly shut. Exactly at 06:00 the office opened and our bus showed up at 06:30. Somehow part of the group with foreigners were send away with minivan while our family of 3 had to wait for the big bus. Don't expect to much of this bus service, a bit smelly and worn out bus but all in all for the 1 hour trip good enough. At the pier you can have breakfast. The boat trip to the island was pleasant.

Ferry boat is an aged ship not in best condition. For the shuttle bus I was supposed to check in at 5:45 in the morning, but was placed on the next bus departing at 6:30. Neither water nor tea/ coffee was provided. I send a detailed question by mail to 12Go Asia 10 days before but never got an answer. So this is just an avergae experience.

We arrived 2.5 hours early at the station and were offered available tickets for an earlier ride. We were told that this was a combined bus + ferry ticket. Thus we took the bus that arrived earlier at the port. However, upon arrival at the port there was no ferryboat leaving earlier, thus we still had to wait. Additionally, we were assured that the bus ticket would suffice as a ferry ticket. This was not the case and led to quite a discussion before it was accepted. Proper informing and tickets at the start would have been appreciated.
