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!
Cela c'est plutôt bien passé. Le véhicule était en bon état et assez confortable avec des chargeurs de batterie devant chaque siège. A la fin, le chauffeur nous a fait attendre au moins 20 mn dans une station d'essence et est reparti très en colère et il conduisait brutalement.
Great ride, safe driving.
However there was a 45min wait to the ferry - I feel like this could have been timed better.
Also we were late into Koh Samet
The bus was so tiny. I’m not a big person but could barely fit in the seat. Also, is was very bumpy the whole ride. When we arrived at Ban Phe where the boats are to take us over to Koh Samet, the people stressed the hell out of us. I had to go to the pharmacy 1 minute away from the check in counter and they said the boat doesn’t leave before 15 minutes, but one minute later they rushed us to the boat. They drove us on a scooter to the pier where the boat was, and when we got dropped off they asked us to “hurry hurry hurry”. It was not a great arrival, felt super stressed for no reason at all.
