The driver was on time and the ferry to Donsak and the bus to Surat Thani were also on time. I gave them a 1+.

Everything went really well. The connection was good.
We were even there 1 hour earlier. From Koh Samui to Krabi Ao Nang. The bus ride was a bit turbulent. A bit cramped as there was so much luggage with all the tourists. Nevertheless, it was great.

Alles super verlaufen. Die Verbindung was gut.
Zeitliche waren wir sogar 1 Stunde früher da. Von Koh Samui nach Krabi Ao Nang. Die Busfahrt war etwas turbulent. Etwas eng, da so viel Gepäck bei allen Touristen dabei war. Trotzdem war es super.

On time.
Seatran Ferry was in very good condition. A mix of air con or outside seating. The shop sells cold meals, pot noodles, snacks and drinks.
Phantip bus was clean and comfortable.
This is a great way to get from Ko Samui to the mainland. Well organized & the Phantip staff are helpful.
