Koh Lanta to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

SZ
They were 2hrs LATE for the pickup. I had to call them 5 times and every time they just tell you they'll come in 15-30 mins but nothing would happen. After 1hr they stopped answering the phone which caused more confusion. If you're gonna be 2hrs late, just push the pick up time by 2hrs. Or when I call you, say it'll come in 2 hours, not 15 mins!!! How hard is that. Besides the pickup mess, the rest of the trip was fine.

The driver had the loudest music ever in the speakers throughout the entire trip. The stop was also at a weird place without any decant food nearby. Otherwise it was okay.

Very unorganised and very squished in the back of the vans. They ram people in, leaving no room for bags so it’s a tight squeeze because they want as many people to book for money without thinking about your experience. Getting on the ferry was very dangerous and unsafe due to the waves, people were falling over as the ferry kept lifting off the ground. It was terrible. It took 12 hours to get from Koh Lanta to Koh Samui.

Was supposed to be a hotel pick up, ferry, bus transfer and the ferry but was put on a bus right away for 4hrs and then ferry. Got stuffed into the back extra row of seats with all the luggage and kept hitting our heads off the roof. Staff was great though

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
