They take you from Surat Thani Center to the Port and then you go with that same ticket to the next ferry departure either to surat thani or ko samui, very good advanced system, totally professional and tech enabled. WAY better system than in other countries including europe

It was fine. The bus is pretty hot and sticky and the ferry is slow and dirty. Its pretty easy to just get there but its not the best experience

no directions. nobody talked or informed me where to go, where to wait, when next takeoff. Even when I asked if everything with the ticket is fine, I got no adequate response. PDF voucher was inadequate too.

It is a small speedboat. So it is fast but small, 3 people in a bench for almost two hours, a little crowded, but it was ok. The stuff was very helpful, and it was on time, so thank you!

Left on time from Surat Thani train station. As soon as I got out of the train, there was someone asking where I am going and directing me to the pick up spot which is to the left side of the station after you pass all the taxis and the parking lot. I was the only one going to Koh Phangan so o had a very comfortable 1 hour drive in the van with aircon. Then I got my ticket and the driver left me at the ferry. All very well organised, and they make stops in Koh Samui/ then Koh Phangan and last one on Koh Tao. Happy with the experience.

Everything worked as communicated. It just doesn't make a lot sense in my opinion, to travel more than 30 min from Lompraya Tapee Pier to the actual boat departing Pier. There should be an easy option to only book from the boat departing Pier (no bus transfer at all). Thank you
