It took 5hours and 15minutes and was meant to be 4 hours all in. Slowest boat ever. Literally got overtaken by two seatrans en route.

Depending on your expectations. If you want to have a sleeping place enter the boat at least 3 hours before departure and stay there otherwise is not guaranteed that it’s still available. Boat was totally full lots of locals using it for transport accordingly is the comfort. At the end it’s a unforgettable experience didn’t sleep that much because of the heat and cuddling with locals :D

On time. It’s not a vip experience, more a traveller experience, seatbelts don’t work, but no problems, it has aircon. Friendly people.

An overnight trip in calm seas. We slept very well in the large dormitory and woke up to a wonderful dawn. A cruise couldn't be more beautiful

It’s a great experience but definitely not the most comfortable :)

Pick up would be anywhere between 30 minutes early and 30 minutes late. Was 30 minutes late. Then we stopped at Phantip office for another 15 minutes, where we got our ferry tickets. Smooth drive to the pier. Turned out to be Raja Ferry Pier. (We had chosen Phantip instead of Raja, because of their bad reputation…) Raja Ferry was… Let’s say we survived it. Thanks to the small number of passengers we had enough space. Not sure about the level of comfort with a full boat. All very old, rusty, damaged chairs, no escape ladder where the escape ladder was indicated. No service or personnel (except a vending machine and probably a captain somewhere). Upon arrival in Koh Pha Ngan no real alternatives to the pickup truck taxi’s, that willl carry up to 8 visitors with suitcases, like caged animals, and still charge ridiculous prices (which you agree to and they then try to increase). Anyway… we got there and the hotel is great!

We were told we’d be there by 12pm if we left Surat Thani at 8am. So we got up early and got the transfer to the ferry. When we arrived to the ferry at 9am we were told our ferry wasn’t leaving until 11am. So we could’ve got extra sleep and got the later transfer as there was only one ferry going. Very disappointing as we had arranged a transfer on Koh Phangan for 12.

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 Surat Thani and Koh Phangan, 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.
