Hat Yai to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

BE
Bryan E
The website has said that it was a direct trip from hat Yai to donsak directly, then take the boat from donsak to samui. The estimated time of arrival was around 16.30. Turns out we took a long way around Surat Thani town. Then from there switched from a bus to a minivan with a 30 minute waiting time, only to arrive to samui at around 18.30. The complaint is for the bus stop to Surat not to be mentioned in the trip itself, as well as the extra waiting time. Please consider putting that 1 stop at Surat on 12Go.

The van was on time, the driver was courteous, and we got to the ferry just a few minutes before it was ready to leave. Overall the connections were great and we got to where we wanted to go with a minimum of effort.
