The boat to Koh Tao was extremely crowded and hot, so it felt a bit like a COVID trap. No AC, no fans, and no way to get outside to the deck or to an upper deck outside. The return boat was much better with spacing and AC.
Terrible, 5 hours late.
Very dirty, smelly, busy.
Was impossible to sleep on the “bed” too many people walking around, all the light on, the train was extremely noisy.
Just don’t buy it.

Can’t condemn it too much, it’s probably just the nature of the thing. Not a good alternative available, anyway; but the sleeping quartes were in a windowless cargo hold with no ventilation. Woke with a nasty cough feeling rather unrested.
Crew make everyone stack there bags in one place at the front of the boat and then do nothing to assist customers collect their bags to disembark leaving chaos. This made us late for our train connection. The boat was also late departing.
I woke up shivering from the insanely cold air-conditioning. No one told me where to get a blanket or offered me one. Other bunks had multiple up as curtains and for sleeping. Wasn't able to find an available one so went out of the dorm and layed down on the hard ground under the stairs. We arrived about 4:30 which was fine as it was one of the much closer piers up the river/inlet.
