Koh Phangan to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

On time. Easy, well organised connection from the ferry to bus at Donsak.

There was big delay, not enough seats. Transfer to bus that was not pre informed and smelled like pee. Also the check in place is very far from the pier

I booked the Lomprayah ferry specifically because the 12Go website stated it would arrive at Tapee Pier in Surat Thani city center. I was willing to pay the higher price to avoid the long bus ride from Don Sak Pier. However, the ferry still arrived at Don Sak Pier, and we were then put on a bus to Tapee Pier. From there, we had to arrange yet another transfer by minivan or Bolt to reach the city. This resulted in more transit steps and unnecessary hassle, which completely defeated the purpose of paying extra for a supposedly direct service. The information on the website was misleading and caused inconvenience and extra expense. Other companies provide direct transfers to the city without this needless stop, so I expected better from Lomprayah.

Ferry and bus were on-time and service was as promised, but the bus could have been cleaner and the driver more friendly.

The ferry didn't go to the Tapee Pier, it went to the Donsak pier and from there we were put in a coach for a bus ride of 60+ minutes from Donsak to Tapee.....

You didn't go to train station first. Took too long and went away from train station to airport even though the train station was closer.

Very unfriendly lady at the shop when we arrived at their office with the phangan tour bus. 0 communication on how I‘ll get to the train station from there. Have to pay for the toilet and don‘t even get toilet paper. Got picked up by a minivan in the end but arrived at the train station nearly 1 hour later than it said on my voucher.
