Natürlich ist es eine lange Reise von Phuket nach Koh Tao, aber alles lief reibungslos ab und die Fahrt wurde gut organisiert. Nach ca. 2 Stunden Fahrt haben wir einen 30-minütigen Stopp an einer Raststätte mit humanen Preisen gemacht und die Abwicklung am Hafen hat auch gut geklappt. Anstatt um 17:00 Uhr kamen wir um 18:15 Uhr an. Viel früher geht das denke ich auch nicht, aber das war ok für uns.
Everything happened on time, which for Thailand is sometimes surprising!
Bus left from Phuket at 7.01am and ferry arrived in Koh Tao at 14.50.
There is nowhere to buy food between bus station and Koh Tao. You can buy water and snacks (Peanuts, chips, cup noodles) in the ferry but other wise I would recommend to bring snacks with you and eat a breakfast :)
They forgot to pick me up from my hostel, even asking the day before and the same morning.
After an hour and a half waiting they told me that they were at the airport and I needed to grab a taxi to catch them, that was 85 minutes away from my hostel. (at least they paid for that)
Driver was raiding so fast as a crazy one.
We had an accident with a scooter and because of that we spent almost 2 hours stoped on the road.
The pier was terrible! Dirty and disgusting!!
The bus was on time, and we only waited 20 minutes to board the Ferry. They do weigh your bags before you board the bus, so be prepared to pay 200 Bhat if your bag weighs more than 20kgs. Bus was very clean with black leather seats, pretty comfy. Ferry was great, crew was all helpful and friendly. Would recommend using them!
Everything mostly ran smoothly.
Instructions were pretty clear with the pick up time communicated the evening before.
Caught the first minibus at the airport and then switched to another. Both drivers seemed fine and ferry port staff were great. We arrived really early to the ferry so made use of the restaurant close by which was reasonably priced and nice food.
The only gripe I have is that somehow between loading my suitcase on to the first minibus to receiving it back from the second, was that the corner of it was substantially caved in. It's a very robust hard shell one and very new so could only really have happened by being dropped onto a kerb I imagine, perhaps when swapping vehicles.
