nosmo49 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 In BKK the night curfew was invoked. No trains, busses or taxis. Caught the VIP bus from mochit2 to Samui saturday night--- no problem. Would check with VIP at Nathon in case things have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you are asking about buses - but as you posted on the Samui forum - you will need a ferry first. Most companies provide bus and ferry tickets so they should know if the buses are operating. Just a thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but seatran and raja ferry services starts at 5AM and last ferry arrives at 8:30PM, so they're not affected by the curfew anyway. Edited May 27, 2014 by Mole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah, but seatran and raja ferry services starts at 5AM and last ferry arrives at 8:30PM, so they're not affected by the curfew anyway.

No you just drive there.... it's not an issue here (so it seems) .... stay in the bars until 4 am and then head to the ferry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Either you can just ignore the curfew and go out anyway to catch the first ferry, or go out at 5 sharp and catch the next ferry instead. The first ferry departs at 5 sharp, when the curfew is over anyway. The point is that the ferry times were already outside the curfew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you get to the 5AM ferry? Sleep at the ferry terminal all night!! Why don't you call some of the transport companies? Would you like other members here to do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
