Late Boat To Samui

[DJ Pat]

I don't land in Surat Thani until 6pm on a friday and wondered if theere was still a boat to Samui as I'd rather not spend the night in Surat Thani.

Anyone know the costs and availability?

There used to be a night boat from Ban Don, leaving at 10/11pm.

[DJ Pat]

I heard about this night boat and I'd rather not use it.

[taxexile]

the night boat is a miserable craft , used by only the meanest of backpackers and other desperados , you are wise to avoid it.

there are boats up to 7 or 8 pm from don sak , which is an hour by car from surat.

the company that runs them is called "seatran" and they have a website with a timetable.

and it's a nice ferry to i might add

[DJ Pat]

We land at 6.30pm and with an hour to the port we may make the 8pm boat. What do you reckon?

At least it'll beat the hi-so Emporium crowd

[DJ Pat]

There's nothing about the don sak boat on that website taxexile....what shall I do.

If you are flying from your origin to ST, why not fly from your origin to Samui ?

Raja Ferry also runs from Don Sak to Samui and their last boat is also 7pm.

Have you already purchased your ticket with Thai? Because Bangkok Air now offers an online deal for a ticket for 2500 b to Samui. Or if you get the first flight of the day or the last flight of the day, 2000 b.

How quick is the taxi from the airport to don sak?

[DJ Pat]

I land at the airport Surat Thani 6.15pm

I used Thai airways because I had free air miles to use up.
