Picked up on time, driving was safe, had a rest stop half way which was perfect, cheap and on time couldn’t ask for anything better

I booked a single ticket, when I got to the port I was given a ticket but when I boarded the boat the ticket was half of a double bed slot with another guy. I tried to explain to the people what there wasnt enough room for 2 men let alone it being awkward to share a bed with some other man I don't know. I had search around for a bed that wasnt in use to try and get my own space for the trip. Very shitty experience and 12go over charged me, I paid 1250 baht and there was people on the same boat who booked through 12go and paid 850... so they are selling the same ferry for 2 different prices.

The van picked us up from the hotel right on time. It was a smooth trip, just me, my girlfriend, and another girl who ended up becoming a friend. We only made one stop with the van, at a 7-Eleven, to grab something to eat. After that, the van dropped us off at the pier to catch the ferry. The ferry has beds, the bathrooms are clean, and there’s even a shower available. For spending a night on a ferry, it was actually better than I expected. And with the agency, everything was perfect too.

Everything went smoothly! Got picked up from my hostel, comfortable ride with a 7 11 stop and received information about the ferry. Ferry arrived around an hour later than planned, no one’s fault but something to keep in mind :)

Pickup was on time, friendly driver, van was comfortable. Drop off at Lomprayah office, handout of bus and boat tickets went smoothly. Bus travel was quite comfortable, the A/C was just right (I'm always afraid of too cold A/Cs.) Boat boarding is a bit chaotic for me, everybody is rushing in, blocking seats, and the second destination passengers, who come a bit later, don't find seats next to each other. Sure, assigning seat numbers would be too much effort, but at least, please tell people when boarding, that absolutely EACH AMD EVERY seat is fully booked... No 2-in-a-3-row allowed! The catamaran drive itself, was nice. When the weather is fine, and you have plenty of sunscreen, go on top 👍 If you prefer air conditioned, stay inside...

I would like to have received more clarity on the trip. It was by 3 different vans and bus. This was not mentioned in the trip. Also driver was really helpfull by whatsapping the suggested time. This also could be mentioned in the trip info. At last the displayed boat was not the one we travelled with such that this could also be made better

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Ao Nang and Koh Tao, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
