Surat Thani to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

Waited at the pier, which had a small store to get some food. Bus took us to the boat and boat got to the island. Journey was just fine. On the boat you can also buy food and drinks. If you have a backpack, would recommend putting your raincover on for protection of your bag (if you care about that).

We were a bit late, but that was ok. Good to know that you have to transfer boat at koh phanang and they do an extra stop.

The trip was ok. We wanted to go to Koh Tao but arrived five hours later then said. We had a stay on Koh phangan for more than four hours. Would had been nice to know that before. The sea was kind of rough but the captain was navigating well and the crew took care of everybody who got seasick

Everything on time, very nice staff. In Koh Phangan it was unclear where to wait for the next boat and what kind of vehicle it will be. I

Monopolies are annoying, as a tourist I can only lose. No innovation, no competition and in the background a few are happy to have founded Lomprayah with probably unfair means. Ugh...

60 people packed on a small boat. We stopped for 20 minutes at Koh Samui, but no one told why. And then we went further to Koh Tao. At bus station was told that we had a stop at Koh Phangan and had to go to another boat, so the trip was totally different and nobody could tell us something. Better to write down on a board what the trip will be and what we can expect.

We order the speedboot to Koh tao, but we stopped at Koh pahnang and we had A transfer to another boot which was much bigger and slower and with a lot more people on it( maybe to much) we couldn't sit anymore it was so busy. we paid for a speedboat and you get this. We are dissepointed.
