Phuket to Don Sak Pier (ferry to Koh Samui & Koh Phangan) — private transfer
Don Sak is where the big ferries leave for Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. A private transfer from Phuket takes about 4.5–5 hours straight to the Raja, Seatran or Lomprayah pier, so you pick the departure that suits you instead of building the day around a joint bus ticket. Tell us your ferry time and we set the pick-up to land you at the pier with room to spare.

- How much is a private car from Phuket to Don Sak Pier (ferry to Koh Samui & Koh Phangan)?

- Is a private transfer cheaper than the bus or minivan?
