The minibus is not very confortable and we didn't stop to go to the toilet during several hours. The driver don't speak english. At arrival, too fast. The price is okay for the service which is convenient.
Departed from Bangkok about 10 mins after original 9:30 time, and we had few stops picking up some locals. Arrived to Ban Phe pier around 1pm, then transferred over to a speed boat and arrived to Koh Samet by 1.30. All were very well organised!
The car was ok but a little old and squeaky.
We departed on time, but the driver chose a slower road with no toll for part of the way (according to Google maps), which added another hour to the trip! At the end he drove really fast to catch up.
At least we didn't have to wait for the boat too long, and the total delay was 30 minutes.
Left on time from Ekkamai, stopped half way for toilet break. Arrived on Ban Phe pier where they gave us ticket for speedboat. Had to wait for the speed boat to fill up before we went.
Was oké. Could certainly travel with it.
The things which could be better: half an hour late, toiletstop after one client asked, brakes were making so much noise, no English speaking anywhere.
