Hat alles wunderbar geklappt.
Sind pünktlich abgefahren und auch pünktlich angekommen.
Die Fahrt war auch sehr entspannt.
Würden den Transport jederzeit wieder buchen
Koh Samui to Bangkok during the night. No need to print the tickets. Ferry was on time and it was easy to find our transfer for the train (which was 30 min late but it happens).
The 3rd class train is really not a good idea, lights on all night, ventilators turn on & impossible to turn off, windows open so it’s pretty cold & lots of noises from outside that you can’t block. Seats are uncomfortable & 2x2 facing each others so you don’t have any way to try to sleep peacefully.
People come to sell a variety of food & drinks (coffee), it’s still better to buy beforehand tho ; but during the night they keep on coming every 20 min screaming so it’s impossible to sleep. Bathrooms uncleaned and without paper but it’s to be expected on a train.
I saw the seats on 2nd class & they did look a bit better but I think if you don’t book a bed it’s not a good idea to travel by train. Cheapest option but I won’t do it again, the night bus seats were way more comfortable & it was less noisy.
In Thailand, they take care of you, these people running these vehicles and ferries and buses and tours. They make it easy to navigate your way, they help with your luggage,
Thai people are lovely.
The transfer from my hotel in ko samui to nathon pier was good. When we arrived to the pier, the woman in the pier told Us that we could board on the boat at 13:00h ( and not at 14:00h as the ticket I bought) So when we arrived to Donsak pier there was no a bus waiting for Us. I undestood beacause We got on the bout one hour earlier, but the thing that I didnt understand is that the bus arrived to te bus stop when We were waiting for a while and we wanted to ask for the transfer to the driver and he didnt open the door. It was very hot outside and I was with my wife and my 6 years old son. One hour later I took a photo of the bus and then, they opened the door and two of the employees where staring and laughing of me in a bad mood. When my wife asked then the time that the bus leave they said that they didnt know and started laughing again.
39 minutes later the bus left and the got to surat thani town.
Location of where to get boat on Google maps was incorrect leading to a lot of confusion and stress.
Journey was OK and bus was easy to find after for transfer.
It's easy to buy a ticket and get on the ferry. There's an air-conditioned area on the ferry and outside, and you can also buy food at the mini-store. Everything was on time, I recommend it.
