Es hat alles gut geklappt. Nur könnte man kommunizieren, dass man am Bahnhof in Chumphon bis 6 Uhr morgens warten muss, bis man abgeholt wird.Also 2- 3 Stunden, je nach Pünktlichkeit des Zuges. Der Anschluss an die Fähre war perfekt.
Took the overnight train to Chumphon and then boat to Koh Tao. We really enjoyed the train, second class a/c sleeper. The train set off on time but was three hours late arriving. That was fine by us as it avoided a long wait in the early hours in Chumphon. Apparently not many Thai trains run on time, but the sleeper was great. No complaints from us. Hooked up seamlessly with the boat transfer. All handled well by 12goAsia.
Would have been good to display all times before purchase. Luckily the train was 2 h late, so could sleep in and only wait for 1 h for the bus (instead of 3!). Got lucky and could take an earlier ferry, so in the end got there 1 h early.
the train was half an hour late but i was late either:)
i didn’t know that i will have to wait for almost two hours for the shuttle from the train station to the ferry but it was okay…
Its a long journey but train was comfy, bus was great & the transfer to koh tao via speed boat was bumpy but not toooooo bad. The train was delayed by 2 hrs so the connecting bus at 6am was well timed by 12go. (However the journey to Tao via Speedboat is based on your luck and the weather. Try to book a ferry ticket if the ferries are running to avoid seasickness. Not 12go’s fault tho!) 12go’s customer service was also very helpful. Thank you!
