Alina ZThe trip to the ferry pier was alright. Driver didn't speak any English but dropped us off at the ferry pier. However we were able to find out how to get the ferry Tickets. Once we arrived at the ferry we were told to get on a bus. This is when it got very bad. Instead of a 15 minutes drive to nathon town the driver took us for over an hour ride all the way around the east coast of the Island. Once we were as far away as it could get, he told us we had to pay extra 500 thb. When we refused to pay he kept telling us we had to. So we asked him to drop us off so we could find the way on our own but he kept on driving telling us we had to pay extra. I got scared then and yelled at him. This is when he stopped the car and we jumped off. Never had such a bad experience in all my travels. And never would have suspected such a thing in Thailand.

Justin VExcellent service by a well-organized company. We booked a couple of days in advance and had no issues getting from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Koh Samui. The staff at the Seatran booking counter in Nakhon Si Thammarat airport were very friendly and helpful. They checked us in and called us a van that took us on a 1 1/2 hour drive to the ferry terminal in Don Sak, Surat Thani. We waited an hour or so to board the ferry which was 1 1/2 hours of smooth sailing. The ferry has a small shop on board and the chairs are pretty comfy. We were able to take a van from the peir to our hotel in Bo Put for 150 bhat but some people paid 70, others 200, so maybe try to negotiate. Still cheaper than Grab which was an insane 660 bhat.
