Thailand destinations: Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, ...

GETTING TO KOH SAMUI
Surat Thani - Koh Samui By Ferry
The ferry transfer is included in the bus fare because the bus uses the ferry (it cannot swim . . . :-)
On the island the bus first stops at the ferry pier and then at Nathon Pier. Remember to tell the resort where and when you want to be picked up. (Surat Thani - Samui app. 3 hours, ferry included).
