涛岛梅哈德到春蓬机场 (CJM)

Can’t condemn it too much, it’s probably just the nature of the thing. Not a good alternative available, anyway; but the sleeping quartes were in a windowless cargo hold with no ventilation. Woke with a nasty cough feeling rather unrested.

De boot was wel te laat, hierdoor kwamen wij ook later aan. Verder goed geregeld. Het is altijd maar een beetje de vraag of de boot gaat. Dit keer een grotere boot, comfortabel zitten.

Crew make everyone stack there bags in one place at the front of the boat and then do nothing to assist customers collect their bags to disembark leaving chaos. This made us late for our train connection. The boat was also late departing.

The boat was good, but te connection from Chumpon to te trainstation was not good. Not happy about it.

I woke up shivering from the insanely cold air-conditioning. No one told me where to get a blanket or offered me one. Other bunks had multiple up as curtains and for sleeping. Wasn't able to find an available one so went out of the dorm and layed down on the hard ground under the stairs. We arrived about 4:30 which was fine as it was one of the much closer piers up the river/inlet.

Apart from a long delay waiting at Ko Tao for a broken down ferry to be fixed the rest of the trip went smoothly and was well organised.

The booking over 12Go was very easy and reliable. The Catanaran showed up as planned and got me to where I wanted to go. Anytime again!

The boat to Koh Tao was extremely crowded and hot, so it felt a bit like a COVID trap. No AC, no fans, and no way to get outside to the deck or to an upper deck outside. The return boat was much better with spacing and AC.

The speedboat was on time and the trip was quite comfortable.
