Samui Airport to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

AW
Ferry and service were very good!
Ferry Laemsor Ferry, Lomprayah (ลมพระยา), Jun 23, 2024

The speedboat is not a good experience with the noise and smell of the engines and no air conditioning for 2.5 hours. Then the van had a barely working air conditioner it was hottt for 2 hours with a full van, and the driver made 2 stops when we were already near kao sok (half an hour before and then another one 15 minutes before arrival). Second stop at a food stand was defined “for coffee”, but no body wanted so he went out anyways smoked a cigarette while we were all in the van waiting and sweating.

The driver came within the stated time window. Got to the Koh Samui pier in ample time before the ferry for Koh Tao. The driver helped with the bags and pointed us to the check in desk. All in all a very smooth experience.

My trip from Koh Samui to Koh Tao went excellent; the boat was on time, the seats were comfy and the toilets were clean.

The boat arrived on time. But the AC was too high. It was raining so I couldn't go outside and was freezing sitting inside there. I eventually catched a cold :( It took us about 5 hours to arrive to koh tao. The ceiling had holes and on some point water came trough it because of the strong rain. Some passengers had to switch seats to avoid getting wet.

The waves were insane, obviously no one's fault. Literally everyone on the ferry ended up throwing up. I guess better check the weather beforehand and if you still wanna go be prepared with some seasick pills.

It was not the best weather and the sea was rough. About 1/3 of the passengers got seasick, parts vomited. But as we heard, the other boats should be worse. There should be an Info/warning.
