A great crossing, comfortable and easy to use. Didn’t realise how long on the bus from Surat Thani, but that was well done all the same.
When booking, it would have been useful to have explained the bus transfer timing as well as the ferry.
The ferry we booked that was scheduled at 1, was cancelled but luckily the ferry before was delayed. But we were not told that until the last moment and left in confusion.
The ferry is very old, but surprisingly the AC was working fine. All in all okay, but will checkout other provider‘s next time.
The driver to the port was on time and fast.

The trip was sold as a taxi+boat pickup, giving the impression that one would be picked up by a taxi and transferred to the boat.
Actually; it was a shared minivan + bus + boat transfer. We ended up with a ridiculous situation in which we had to be ready at 7:30 at the hotel; the minivan showed up 8:25; drove 30 minutes through Surat Thani to pick up someone else and finally dropped us at the main office of Phantip that was effectively 500 meters from the hotel. The bus that was supposed to leave at 9; didn’t leave until 9:15. So we almost travelled 2 hours for 500 meters, thinking we booked a trip via 12go to exactly avoid such trip. I’m quite disappointed.
Gebucht habe ich Van+ Fähre es wurde aber Bus+ Fähre daraus. Leider war die Bus- Station am anderen Ende der Stadt. Bis ich dort war vergingen 40 min. Das ist am Anfang der Buchung nicht ersichtlich und kostet im Vergleich zu der gebuchten Strecke viel zu viel.

The driver was almost two hours late, and stopped on the way to pick up other people. In retrospect, we realized that it was a transfer for several people, but his lateness almost cost us getting to the ferry on time.
Too many stops, I made a mistake not taking a taxi

Drive from Khao Sok Cheow lan lake pier to Seatran ferry Koh Samui. Friendly driver, good communication beforehand, nice driving and short rest stop for drinks or toilet. I recommend!

Pick up was on time and easy to find. Then we were brought to a travel agency downtown Surat Thani where we had to wait for nearly two hours. From there, another driver brought us to the ferry terminal. Both drivers drove way too fast. At the ferry terminal we were informed that our ferry was cancelled so we had to wait for another one and a half hour. Raja ferry operates with very old ferries and turns out Seatran (newer boats, on time service) would have been the better pick.
