Piotr SVery disappointing customer support.
We contacted support because both of us became unwell and asked to move our transfer by just one day. We were not asking for a refund — we simply wanted to use the same service the following day, when we expected to feel better.
Support refused because changes supposedly have to be requested at least 24 hours before departure. In our situation, this policy makes very little sense. When travelling in Thailand, especially when dealing with sudden stomach problems or illness, it is impossible to know 24 hours in advance whether you will be fit enough to spend many hours travelling.
What disappointed us most was the complete lack of flexibility. We had already paid for the service, did not want our money back, and only asked to postpone the journey by one day due to illness. Nevertheless, no alternative, credit, partial solution or other form of assistance was offered.
As a direct result of their refusal, we now have to purchase an entirely new transfer to Phuket for the following day and pay for the journey all over again, despite already having paid for the original transfer.
We understand that companies have policies, but customer support should also be able to handle exceptional situations with some understanding and reasonable flexibility. Being ill is not something you can always predict 24 hours in advance.
Unfortunately, although the support staff were polite, they were ultimately not helpful at all, and their rigid approach resulted in us having to pay twice for essentially the same journey.
Very disappointing experience and poor handling of a genuine situation.

Daniella We booked a combination bus and ferry ticket from Surat Thani Airport to Nathon, Koh Samui through 12Go Asia, with Phantip operating the journey.
The whole experience was really smooth and well organised. Everything ran on schedule and the communication from both 12Go Asia and Phantip was clear, with all the information we needed throughout the journey. It made getting from the airport to Koh Samui really straightforward and stress-free.
Our only small criticism would be the condition of the Phantip buses, which are quite run down and could definitely do with an update. Aside from that, we had no issues at all with the service.
Overall, a very easy and reliable experience, and we’d definitely use 12Go Asia again for booking future transfers.

Ahmad HBooking the Phantip Travel combo ticket from Surat Thani Airport to Koh Samui offers a direct and affordable route, though the journey comes with a few operational drawbacks. The process began smoothly at the airport ticketing counter with friendly staff, but instructions quickly became vague, leaving passengers to wait without much context. The minivan leg to the pier was efficient, though the packed, compact seating combined with the hot, humid weather made for a somewhat cramped ride.
The most uncomfortable segment of the transfer occurred upon reaching the pier area, where passengers were left waiting in an empty parking lot for about half an hour with minimal communication. While likely exaggerated by low-season schedules, the lack of updates from staff created an uneasy atmosphere. Boarding logistics were also unconventional, involving a passenger trolley pickup to the pier and requiring foot passengers to walk directly alongside vehicles to reach the car ferry. The vessel itself appeared dated and lacked routine maintenance, requiring guests to navigate a long set of stairs to reach the passenger deck.
Despite the dated transportation and poor coordination, the indoor passenger seating area on the ferry was decent, and choosing the larger car ferry successfully prevented seasickness. Given the low price point, the service ultimately delivers on its basic promise of getting you from the airport to the island on a budget. However, travelers seeking a well-organized, comfortable, or seamless transit experience may prefer looking into alternative operators for future trips

Eniko BIt was really uncomplicated and well-organised, although the ferry took longer than planned. It was traveller-friendly and we liked our trip.

Brian VThe website took time to work it out. Once booked the experience to connect to the bus and ferry was excellent. I have to say that one of the serving staff in the ferry shop was very arrogant and could benefit with some training.
