Everything was fine, we had a bus for around one hour, waiting for ferry was not that long, 40-45 minutes and ferry itself was directed with duration of 3 hours approximately!

Of course it was my fault in the first place but you should have seen at check-in that it was the wrong ferry. I ended up in koh tao instead of koh phangan where I had to pay another 800 batt for the crossing. The air conditioning was also far too cold.

The bus was very old but okish. Ferry was nice with a little supermarket. Due to low season there where not to many people so it was quite comfortable.

It took 5hours and 15minutes and was meant to be 4 hours all in. Slowest boat ever. Literally got overtaken by two seatrans en route.

Depending on your expectations. If you want to have a sleeping place enter the boat at least 3 hours before departure and stay there otherwise is not guaranteed that it’s still available. Boat was totally full lots of locals using it for transport accordingly is the comfort. At the end it’s a unforgettable experience didn’t sleep that much because of the heat and cuddling with locals :D

On time. It’s not a vip experience, more a traveller experience, seatbelts don’t work, but no problems, it has aircon. Friendly people.

An overnight trip in calm seas. We slept very well in the large dormitory and woke up to a wonderful dawn. A cruise couldn't be more beautiful

It’s a great experience but definitely not the most comfortable :)

Pick up would be anywhere between 30 minutes early and 30 minutes late. Was 30 minutes late. Then we stopped at Phantip office for another 15 minutes, where we got our ferry tickets. Smooth drive to the pier. Turned out to be Raja Ferry Pier. (We had chosen Phantip instead of Raja, because of their bad reputation…) Raja Ferry was… Let’s say we survived it. Thanks to the small number of passengers we had enough space. Not sure about the level of comfort with a full boat. All very old, rusty, damaged chairs, no escape ladder where the escape ladder was indicated. No service or personnel (except a vending machine and probably a captain somewhere). Upon arrival in Koh Pha Ngan no real alternatives to the pickup truck taxi’s, that willl carry up to 8 visitors with suitcases, like caged animals, and still charge ridiculous prices (which you agree to and they then try to increase). Anyway… we got there and the hotel is great!
