Very comfy vehicle, But the 2 hour wait before the boat could have been a bit shorter. Also leave the lights off during the stop for sleeping people would be better
Es hat alles gut geklappt. Nur könnte man kommunizieren, dass man am Bahnhof in Chumphon bis 6 Uhr morgens warten muss, bis man abgeholt wird.Also 2- 3 Stunden, je nach Pünktlichkeit des Zuges. Der Anschluss an die Fähre war perfekt.
We traveled from Khao San road to Koh Tao. First you take a VIP bus to Chumphon. The bus is super comfy, wide seats, fully reclining chairs. We even got some water and blankets. But, the toilet smelled sooo bad that even through masks you wished you didn't have to breathe.
However, the bus arrived to the ferry before 5 AM, and then we had to wait more than 2 hours for the ferry to leave. This is prime time for mosquitoes so we left full of bites. I honestly don't understand why there has to be a 2 hour wait and why the bus just isn't leaving a bit later? The ferry ride was fine, very quick on the catamaran.
It was a Nice trip and everything went smoothly. Except from that it was very cold on the bus and i couldnt control the Air condition. Even with a blanket and a sweater i was still very cold and had trouble sleeping because of it.
