The ride and transfer were good overall, but the bus was on the run for about 5 hours with no bathroom break at all. The drivers of the vans that transferred others to their hotels from the bus terminal were quite rude.

The bus reached Phuket at 7:30 only. It was very late. There was a 20 min break in between to have lunch.

Good at all, but the ship was not soo good, access with the suitcase isn’t comfortable. Two levels via stairs at Donsak pier - there is no any difference with Raja, so Seatran is bad as well.

No Info about delay off the ferry. Bus stopped several times for breaks in the middle of nowhere. Drivers off the Minivans were very rude and hectic without any reason.

The ferry ride was fine and nothing bad about it at all, however, our van driver was a maniac, I have never seen worse driving in my life, the danger that the driver put us in constantly was not fun at all, heavily tailgating cars at high speeds, swerving between lanes, taking corners at way too high speeds, I’m not a prude but this guy was taking risks as if he had a court appointment he was late to.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?

Flights

Flying is the fastest and often the most expensive way to travel from Koh Samui to Phuket, but with a bit of luck you can score very good deals for as little as USD 106.62.

Things to remember: Note that some of the airlines may have restrictions on checked luggage weight or require paying extra for check-in, choosing seats or transportation of oversized luggage.

If opting for a flight, calculate the time you will spend getting to and from the airports as well as the waiting time before your flight, getting through immigration in case of an international flight and recovering your checked luggage.

In certain cases all these procedures can add no less than 5 hours to your total travel time.

Taxi

Some travellers consider taxi to be the most convenient form of overland transport thanks to flexible departure times, a possibility to choose the size of the car you need, and a hassle-free door-to-door service.

Things to remember: If you are planning to make detours during your trip, discuss it with your driver or service provider in advance as it may affect the price.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Koh Samui and Phuket, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
