The route wasn't explained: type of boat, duration of the crossing, and type of bus. We waited a long time in an old bus for another boat to arrive, without anyone offering us any assistance, and people who arrived much later left before us in more comfortable conditions. As a result, we had difficulty getting a connection for the rest of the journey.

Sleeper boat was on time and actually got to the destination early, but it is not very comfortable. Obviously we are paying budget prices so dont expect excellence. But there were extra mattresses all over the floor meaning the boat was overcrowded

The ferry from Koh Tao to Surat Thani was great! However the Minivan from Pattana Tours at Surat Thani was congested and they fit in more passengers than seats making the ride uncomfortable for all. Pros: On time Cons: More Passengers than could have been accommodated in the Minivan
