Hat alles problemlos geklappt. Ein Stern Abzug dafür, dass wir unser Gepäck eigenverantwortlich im Minivan irgendwo zwischen den Beinen verstauen mussten.
Bus ist pünktlich losgefahren,
2 Halte zum Pinkeln gemacht.
Als wir mit dem Bus angekommen sind wurden wir direkt von der Crew abgeholt und nach 5Minuten warten sind wir sicher und gemeinsam als Gruppe zur Fähre gegangen.
Dort nochmal 5Minuten gewartet.
Die Fahrt mit dem Speed Boat (Fähre) war schnell, teilweise etwas rucklig, aber sehr angenehm.
Insgesamt war ich voll zufrieden, vor Allem zu diesem günstigen Preis
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!
Comfortable journey witha new minivan. Pay attention to the lady from the Nadan pier, she is aggressively trying to sell you return tickets with her company (only boat, not the transfer to BKK or other destination). Usually, these tickets are bought together from 12Go.
Booked the normal big bus on the way to Koh samet, bus ride was comfortable and on time, gave us food and water.
The speedboat journey was chaos though, allow 1hr+ window waiting around for the 15min ride.
Took the more expensive van option on way back to airport, no food/water was provided.
The van and ferry trip was very good overall. Everything was punctual, comfortable, and well organized during the journey itself. The transfer and ferry ride went smoothly and met expectations.
However, the information regarding how to redeem the bus ticket was insufficient. It was not clearly communicated that the ticket had to be exchanged at Ticket Building C first, and that the bus departure point was located at the back of the bus terminal. This caused some unnecessary confusion.
Despite this minor issue, the service was reliable and pleasant, and I would still recommend it.
Everything was great. The team at Ban Phe pier was extremely polite. The only downside was the bus driver from Ekkamai bus terminal. He took extra money from us, 20 baht, just to put our luggage into the bus. This really shocked me and my partner as we thought everything was paid for. But since we are tourists and looking forward to our trip, we obliged. Didn’t expect to be charged extra money.
