From the bus station to the island, every single member of staff was helpful and friendly! They even called me when I hadn't checked in for my bus because i was stuck in traffic. Best company in bangkok. Definitely recommend

Good experience.
Coach and boat were on time.
Good connections.
The speedboat is a bit choppy, so if you suffer from sea sickness or are nervous on boats, take the ferry instead.

The boat was great and the overall service too but bus was not so confortable. We also arrived 30 minutes later.

The driver stopped on the way picking new passengers over 8 times causing 40 min delay. The trip from Ekkamai to Nadan Pier was direct - no stops.

It's perfect that I don't need to queue up and to look for the transport terminal. The staff is helpful from every point.

Van
Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Koh Samet and Bangkok, too.
Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
