Krabi to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

RA
The van that picked us up barely has working AC and enough room for everyone’s bags. It was a long drive in sweltering heat. It was not enjoyable. Once we got on the ferry it was fine.

The trip was smooth, but when we arrived the van driver unexpectedly demanded 100 THB per bag, claiming overweight without checking. It felt like a scam, and we were the only passengers he charged

Picked us up on time. Dropped us off on time. The driver was good. Nice van. Stopped for bathroom breaks. No problems.

The bus service changed without telling us. The journey started half an hour later without notification. The new mini van company charged us more money of 200 Baht for oversized luggage which was covered with the other company in the price. We cannot recommend the service.

We were 4 persons with only 2 suitcases. And this 2 suitcases were too big for them, so we had to pay 200 Baht each. That doesn't make any sense, because 4 a little bit smaller suitcases were for free. It's just annoying.

The ride was good, the only hitch was we were not allowed to use the washroom which I felt was not correct

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

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 Krabi and Koh Samui, 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.
