[farparents tip]"},"content":{"rendered":"\n\t<div id=\"gap-129568793\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-129568793 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This topic is written for people who will be staying in Phangan and have a return flight to Koh Samui the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From Koh Phangan to Koh Samui, there are many boat providers people can choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But if you are not a packager and book your vacation via a big and trusty travel company,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">they usually book the ferry with the trusty ferry companies for you, which has passed their safety and standard checks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To avoid any inconvenience and problem that might occur. As most people booked their travel via a travel company, then<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s inform you about the timetable of the most standard and common-use provider.\u00a0 Ferry Provider P (alias). Which most travel consulting companies pick for their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Refer to the very updated schedule. The Ferry Provider P operates the ferry from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui at only 8:30 12:30 and 16:30 on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many people are informed that the ferry across the islands takes time only 30 min. Yes, it is true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But you have to consider that the ferry can be delayed when the weather is aggressive on the departure day<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and no one knows what the weather looks like many days in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If there are big waves, your ferry cannot park at the piers and must wait until the waves are small enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The second thing to consider is when you arrive in Koh Samui after a 30-minute ferry drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The ferry staff will not let you go immediately,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">but they first transfer all the 1000 luggage from the ferry then you as a passenger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This process takes another 20 minutes. Especially in high season, this thing will occur very often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The third thing is there will be many bus transfers at the pier picking up their passenger leads to good road blocking, this process takes another 20 minutes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The road from Samui Pier to the airport can be a traffic jam, especially in high season from Feb \u2013 Mar and Jul \u2013 Aust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This process can take another 50 minutes. If the day is Monday, Wednesday, or Friday,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">it will take more than 1.2 hours because of the night market at the Fisherman\u2019s Village.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you have an international flight on that day, as per the airline&#8217;s recommendation, you need to arrive at the airport 2 hours before the flight departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It takes 30 + 20 + 20 + 72 + 120 = 262 around 4:30 hours<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Always assume, that it will not be smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\u2019s discuss if you have a return flight from Koh Samui at 20:00. Which ferry time should you take?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most people who have a 20:00 return flight complain about the travel consulting<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and why the consulting booked the ferry at 12:30 for them and not the 16:30 ferry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Very easy: 16:30 + 4:30 hours equal to 21:00\u00a0 Case Closed! With new flight buying for the route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now you wonder if you pick the 12:30 ferry then you have to wait at the airport for many hours?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Luckily, the airport is located very near the biggest center of Samui namely: Chaweng<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can check in at the airport first, and put all your luggage in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then take a taxi to the city to have a meal or shopping. The round trip taxi between the airport and the city costs about 600 Bath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am sure 600 Bath is much better than 60,000 Bath for new route flight buying.<\/span><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6032,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[216],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-issue-with-transfers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>I have a flight at 20:00 why should I take the ferry at 12:30 from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui.
