Ilya KWe were late for 7 minutes because of horrible traffic, even though we came out 40 minutes earlier to be beforehand for the start of the trip, and we didnt have any opportunity to contact any support. So we had to buy new tickets and it turned out that to buy it at the ticket office is much chipper even with boat ticket included. And we didnt have to book any thing, because nobody was going there. You could at least give an opportunity to go on the next bus for free...

Hannah Hvery comfortable journey. The bus arrived 35 minutes before the boat was ready so I was just waiting by the pier but it's better to be early than late! There wasn't much communication but it did the job and got me there safe. Small minivan so my tip is not to bring too much luggage. It has USB ports which was a nice touch.

Madalina CGood clean ride and on time on Sunday morning to Koh Samet. As soon as we checked in at the counter in Ekkamai bus station we were able to get on the bus. FYI the tickets have the seat number on them. Bus was maybe half full. Once on a lady came to check the tickets and count everyone. The bus was clean and the seats wide and comfy enough for a size 18 US lady :D Driver did a good job, he had a 'co pilot' who gave everyone a bottle of water as soon as we departed. Maybe 30min later once we were out of the city the same guy can around and gave us all McChicken sandwiches - what?! How are they even making a proffit with these gas prices and MacDonalds? 555 But everyone was happy munching away so khopkun ka! We made a short restroom stop in ChonBuri province. Then maybe 1hr later already we got to Rayong, Nuanthip Pier. No stopping by to pickup more travelers, no going through Pattaya. Nice! There we got off the bus and those with specific sticker (given on the bus according to what boat or ferry company would take us to the island) were taken for a few min in a songtaew to their office and then again to the correct pier for the boat. We had chosen the ferry which takes a bit longer than the speedboat (max 30min ride only though) and is less bumpy ride and cheaper. We were just 4 passengers on the cute pink ferry and 100% enjoyed the ride. I hope they will get more passengers so all locals can earn more. Would definitely pick PN Group bus + ferry again.

Amy CRan fairly on time (15 mins late). Bus had AC and stopped twice for a toilet break. Comfy Bus. Easy journey and switch over to the ferry. Ban Phe pier staff were helpful.

Pedro IThere was too many changes from Ko Samet to Bangkok, and Tawan Agency didn't notify me. First the speedboat arrived 30 mins late. Nobody at the cashier recognized the name, then when it arrives there was no indicator either of 12go nor from Tawan Tour Agency. The boat supposedly to be called Theater but the right one was called Stellar. Then, in the port the guy there waiting didn't ask me or respond to my questions about the bus. I was very very very lucky to find a lady who helped me.

Margareta Our Bus was one hour delayed. They said it was because of an accident but we have arrived at 9 am, the bus was there, the driver was there but it wasn’t until 10:30 till we left (scheduled was 9:30) we arrived at Koh samet at 14:45. so more than 1,5 hour later than expected and our day was basically spent with traveling. The driver was also dropping some people of on the way which made the whole drive even longer. Would not book again!

Flora AMini bus service was so horrible. The driver's safety behaviors with operating the vehicle, routes management, he talked on call whole 4 hours, we had car broke down moments as well as unsafe bumps along the way, he stopped at many gates along the way too. However, speedboat service was alright but we were not asked to wear life jackets.
