Nice van. We were waiting for the van exactly in the point of coordinates given in the voucher but it took quite some time before someone asked us anything. The van was a bit further away. It would makw more sense to put on the ticket ”entrnce door 2” or similar where to meet the driver. We got the van eventually though so all good.

We pre-booked a guaranteed bus-boat/ferry connection from the airport to Koh Samui island. We were at the bus station at 14:15h and claimed our ticket at 14.30h. The bus should've left at 15:15h but it didn't. They kept selling tickets to people and the crowd was poorly managed. We arrived at 16.50h at the ferry, wich already closed boarding for the 17h ferry we booked. The guide looked stressed and only said this: 'the boat leaves at 6 now.' And then she disappeared. That boat also got delayed making our arrivaltime +2hours. The bus itself was good comfort, the boat same, no remarks. We probably just got bad luck with how they made a wrong call when to leave and the poor communication about it. I would recommend the transfer just know it can happen that a guaranteed connection is not guaranteed.
