Bangkok to Koh Phangan Destination Reviews

ML
The seats are assigned randomly, first in, first served. I came late, but I got assigned a couch, so I slept most of the road on the bus. The ferry is so good, the transfer is so smooth. We got offered free breakfast, toast omelette with butter, and coffee and banana. It was good.

Perfect trip. Ferry was on time (it went to Chumpon with a stop in Koh Tao - great landscapes). Then we had a bit of time to wait for the bus and eat. I had a VIP ticket and the bus really was VIP (super comfy, could turn seats into beds). Nice staff, clean toilets. We stopped once for 30min on the way from Chumpon to Bangkok, to eat and stretch. We arrived in Bangkok in time or close.

Everything was fine. Good value for money. We had only one transfer (from Surat Thani to ferry) during our trip from Bangkok to Koh Phangan. Bus from Bangkok was comfortable enough. But it was cold as usual) So, prepare warm clothes)

Overnight bus from Bangkok was fine, although no air con, WiFi or electric points as advertised. At 5am we were dropped at a point but not told why or the plan. At 6am we were spilt into groups and put in taxis. We were then transferred to 4 other taxis between 6am and 7am at different points of the city before finally being brought to the port at 7:55am, ferry departed 8am.
