Bangkok to Koh Samet Destination Reviews

TA
The car was ok but a little old and squeaky. We departed on time, but the driver chose a slower road with no toll for part of the way (according to Google maps), which added another hour to the trip! At the end he drove really fast to catch up. At least we didn't have to wait for the boat too long, and the total delay was 30 minutes.

Left on time from Ekkamai, stopped half way for toilet break. Arrived on Ban Phe pier where they gave us ticket for speedboat. Had to wait for the speed boat to fill up before we went.

Was oké. Could certainly travel with it. The things which could be better: half an hour late, toiletstop after one client asked, brakes were making so much noise, no English speaking anywhere.

We had to wait to board the boat, which took a while to depart until all the other passengers had arrived.

The bus from Ekkamai station departed late. The staffs on the bus were not so friendly. On the way to the Rayong on the bus, we did not know what's going to happen when we get to Ban Phe pier. So, we contacted the PN group via the whatsapp and they were very friendly and supportive. They gave an excellent customer service. Once we hopped off from the bus upon arrival to Rayong, we were greeted by the staffs from PN group. From there, we did not have much trouble. PN group took care of everything. We would like to give five stars to the PN group.

We were delayed in traffic, but could still reach the bus and do our trip. The driver took an extra 300 baht from my girlfriend at the end of the trip, saying it was the wrong bus. (But right timing, company, ticket, and destination ?) bus size is not very suitable for taller people - reason for my comfort score
