Long but easy trip from Samui to Phi Phi
Make sure you don’t have luggage if more than 20inches as you pay extra as these have to be placed on the seats in the bus due to the luggage being too big for storage in the luggage compartment of the bus
Ferry trip is almost 2 hours but most enjoyable.
Booked a combined ferry/bus/ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Phi Phi. Used Phantip Travel. Excellent from start to finish. Comfy ferry to the mainland (on time 8am) then straight onto the air-conditioned coach. Managed to sleep on the reclining seat until drop off at the Krabi ferry terminal. Short (30 min) wait, followed by a short walk to the pier for the final 2-hour leg. Fewer facilities on this ferry, but no problem. Spent half the journey sunbathing out front. Arrived at Ton Sai around 3pm. Would highly recommend this method of getting from one island to the other.
We got from A to B.
The second Van was full of people and luggage, so it wasnt a very comfortable 3 hour ride. We also arrived almost an hour later than the ticket said. But the rest was fine.
It is nice that the arrange a long trip like this but after the first switch of the van we got a speedy driver and a van with the back chairs which were moving when accelerating and breaking. Also the last ride with the van was rushy for some reason.
The mini van was full of people with very big luggages so all of us traveled in very unconfortable positions, with 0 space around us (bags in the middle of the corridor). The driver did some stops that we did not understand without telling nothing to the people inside the minivan. We also did 3 changes of vehicle to reach the second ferri and one of the changes toke us 1h waiting in a bus terminal of phantip.
