khman Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi, Yesterday I booked by phone to go by VIP bus (999/government) from BKK to Koh Samui They offered me to leave from Sai Tai Mai OR another place (didn't understand) Do you know what is the other place we can leave from? I didn't know we had choice. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I played around with this site http://www.thaiticketmajor.com/bus/ttmbus/multi_showsellresult.php There's a VIP leaving MohChit (northern bus station) for Samui 0645 on 31 January cost 916B. 14 seats left at present (1321 on 30 January). Cheers, AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ok, thanks. From Fortune where I am, MoChit and Sai Tai Mai seems equidistant. Also, any idea why my booking increased by 48THB? For the first booking I went too late to 7-11 to pay, then in the 7-11, they called the service center to issue a new ticket... Just curious!

jpinx Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Does that actually take you onto the island or just to the ferry pier? Seem expensive - I went to Nakhon Si Thamarrat for about 600 baht. I just got to the southern bus terminal a bit early and got a ticket. There are *lots* of buses going down that road.....

khman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Approx 900THB is normal price for VIP bus. Yes I think it includes the boat and some very thai dishes...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Are you kidding?? From Fortune...equidistant??? Sai Tai Mai is WAY much farther than Mo Chit. There is also a evening bus (VIP) from Mor Chit to Samui; somewhere between 6 & 7pm as I recall. About B900 including ferry. Go to window #21. Sorry, I don't have the phone number or company name.
