It took an hour and a half longer than it says without explaining to the passengers why. The taxi waited for us for an hour and a half

The speedboat is not a good experience with the noise and smell of the engines and no air conditioning for 2.5 hours. Then the van had a barely working air conditioner it was hottt for 2 hours with a full van, and the driver made 2 stops when we were already near kao sok (half an hour before and then another one 15 minutes before arrival). Second stop at a food stand was defined “for coffee”, but no body wanted so he went out anyways smoked a cigarette while we were all in the van waiting and sweating.

The driver came within the stated time window. Got to the Koh Samui pier in ample time before the ferry for Koh Tao. The driver helped with the bags and pointed us to the check in desk. All in all a very smooth experience.
