Train #83.2 2nd Class Sleeper AC, Thai Railways (การรถไฟแห่งประเทศไทย), Apr 15, 2021
I purchased connection trip from BKK to Samui, however bus from Surat Thani train station to Pier have cancelled. They have refunded the bus fees however I think it’s more fair to refund part of service fees as well. By the way, the staff is helpful and nice!

Bus VIP 24, Krungsiam Tour (กรุงสยามทัวร์), Apr 15, 2021
There was no one who spoke English on the bus, at the transfer to the van, or at the transfer to the ferry. Usually in Thailand there are plenty of people who speak a little bit of English, but not this time. I was able to figure it out by repeatedly showing my ticket to people who would point in the right direction, but I could have easily been left on the side of the road at 5am if I hadn’t been determined.

Not suggest for old person, hard to having deep sleeping on the bus and ferry. However, this will be new experience for traveler. Provided Coke Zero, water bottle and small cake. I think it was enough for supper. And the ferry arrived earlier to island at 9:00. So I had more time to discover the island.

Bus Express, Raja Ferry (ราชา เฟอร์รี่), Feb 28, 2020
Офис компании удобно расположен в районе улицы Khao San. В нем можно оставить вещи, если есть необходимость и Вы выехали из отеля утром. В офисе есть туалет и куллер с питьевой водой. Мы покупали комплексный билет автобус-паром-такси до отеля на о. Самуи пляж Ламаи. Автобус не VIP, в ряду 4 сидения. Автобус комфортный, сидения откидываются удобно. Есть подставки под ноги. Водитель отделен от салона стенкой. Автобус был загружен на половину, так что места было много. С кондиционером проблем не было, охлаждал в меру, Можно было закрыть обдув. Автобус отъезжает из офиса в 20-00 и далее до полуночи без остановок. В начале первого ночи (или около того) остановка на пол часа. Стоянка имеет фудкорт (в полночь конечно работало не все, но перекусить можно было) и полуоптовый магазин (типа МЕТРО). В 6 утра были на пристани. Паром отплыл в 7 часов. Далее два час на пароме и мы на Самуи. Дальше нас ждал микроавтобус, который и доставил в отель на ЛАМАИ за пол часа. Итого от Бангкока до Ламаи 13 ч 30 мин. Резюме: вполне комфортная поездка. При необходимости готов воспользоваться еще раз.
