Koh Tao to Surat Thani Airport Destination Reviews

The trip was perfect. The boat was super fast even when the weather conditions were not optimal. Then the van was also super fast and we arrived at the airport on time. The staff was very nice and very helpful with the luggage. I had a problem with my email address and I realised that I did not have the voucher, but the company had already our tickets and we could travel without problems. I recommend it.
Everything very well organized by Lompraya. Boat trip on time. Upon arrival at Donsak Pier the buses were ready and we were directed to the right bus by Lompraya employees. On the bus itself the destination was clearly indicated and before boarding the bus the ticket was checked again: impossible to accidentally board the wrong bus and I do not understand other reviews that it was unclear. Totally fool proof this combination ticket boat-bus! The bus was a comfortable coach and arrived at the airport at 3 o'clock, half an hour later than scheduled but just in time for the flight. Absolutely recommended.

Alles zeer goed georganiseerd door Lompraya. Boottocht op tijd. Bij aankomst Donsak Pier stonden de bussen klaar en werden wij door medewerkers van Lompraya naar de juiste bus verwezen. Op de bus zelf stond ook duidelijk de bestemming aangegeven en voor het instappen werd nogmaals het ticket gecontroleerd: onmogelijk dus om per ongeluk in de verkeerde bus te stappen en andere reviews dat het onduidelijk was begrijp ik dan ook niet. Totaal fool proof dit combinatieticket boot-bus! De bus was een comfortabele touringcar en arriveerde om 3 uur bij de airport, een half uurtje later dan volgens schema maar prima op tijd voor de vlucht. Absoluut aan te raden.

The night ferry was a very nice experience, I have slept in my little bed with the sheet and the pillow provided (it is always cold in this case so think about), but also because it was not full (or could had been a more intense experience). There was some confusion from the transportation from the pier to the airport and we did it with an open old vehicle not a van as written, but at the end everything was on time. I could do it again

You should know, if you take the nightboat, you're in rows of 30 people on very small little matrasses the whole night. There were no bunkbeds etc .

Don't know why there's bad reviews, service was perfect, Thai style. The sleeper was so cozy and even a charger right on your bunk . Great experience 😁

The boat was fine. It was an experience on it self ( but don't expect high level comfort). When we arrived at the pier everything was great. There was a lady organizing al the busses or taxi's. We where at the airport before the time that we expected, great!!

Unfortunately, there were no announcements when to change planes. Unfortunately, we were also late and missed our flight.

Es gab leider keine Durchsagen wann an umsteigen muss. Leider hatten wir auch Verspätung und haben leider unseren Flug verpasst.
there were a lot of people who didn’t know they had to leave the boat and switch to another boat because the intercom was only in Thai Language. So I got off at Samui and had to buy new tickets to arrive in a Surat Thani, so did the other people in my taxi.
