Koh Tao to Phuket Destination Reviews

Bad communication. Different informations from different people. Much to late, 3 hours of waiting between farry and Van. Uncomfortable driving, no opportunity to charge no water provided

Boat was good but 3 hours waiting on the pier for the van is to much. Also the van company was rude when I contacted them for some info

The driver wqs driving unnecessarily dangerous, always overtaking other cars. He could make the ride a lot smoother, that would be nice

There were to many people on the buss. So the luggage needed to be placed in the middle. So when people were going out they steps on our bags and some of my items are broken

We booked this travel because it said it arrived the earliest (11:10am). The bus arrived at 12:30am, and I don’t believe it was planned to get there any sooner. So don’t book this tour because it is supposed to be the fastest. The night boat was okay, except for the bathroom that was filthy. The bus was bad, with no toilets inside and no blanket despite a really strong AC. We had pants and sweatshirts and were still freezing, what more can we do !! No information on the voucher whatsoever. We didn’t even know where the boat was going, or where to go to. We had to guess it was Surat Thani and for the rest of the trip guess just hope for the best. 2 stars because we arrived alive I guess.

The night ferry was good enough. The bus from Surat Thani to Phuket was a bit old school, making weird noises, and the driver was nuts. But got us to the destination.
