Honest review, it was pretty good. We got a snack and a drink at the beginning of ride which was nice. The bus makes some noises, but nothing too bad. The snoring of someone was the worst, which resulted in people not being able to sleep including me. Then we had to get out at around 12 for a quick food stop. At 05:30 we had to get out for a transfer to a smaller bus to the pier, and we had to wait for more than an hour. Then an hour drive took us to the pier, and the ferry to Koh Samui was beautiful.
