Now, if the flight leaves at 14:05, lands about 15:20, you are cutting it really short but Phantip Travel does aim to get you there in time (5pm Raja Ferry to KP, I assume this is what you are aiming for? please make sure to check the schedules are still the same). Unfortunately I can't really help you out with this one. It's a risk/reward situation. The earlier flight gives you peace of mind, but means you might have to spend a few hours being bored at Donsak Pier. The later flight might eventually get you stuck in Donsak or on Koh Samui (you'll always be able to get to Samui) in case anything goes wrong, such as flight delayed, bus breaks down, etc.<br />All the best...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877541578507722955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357807224502093317.post-65620591198224912012009-08-04T13:38:50.608+01:002009-08-04T13:38:50.608+01:00Hi there, just reading about your trip.

I am just concerned about making the ferry if we take the later one but would prefer to take the later flight!<br /><br />Any ideas?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251667896867424606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357807224502093317.post-8291421247916869852008-08-14T11:51:00.000+01:002008-08-14T11:51:00.000+01:00Nice post Greg, your attention to details is fanta...Nice post Greg, your attention to details is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>As you said you really cannot beat the BKK-Air flights to Samui for saving time. If you manage to book early enough then the early morning and late evening flights are usually available, these tickets cost about 2,300 Baht each way which is a bit of a saving on the other scheduled flights.<BR/><BR/>The train although is a very good proposition. The sleeper train takes 12 hours from Surat to BKK and it only costs 1,200 Baht. You have always got to make sure you get a lower bunk though as the aircon makes it freezing in the upper bunks, I am speaking from experience; three blankets and still freezing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
