- How long does the Phuket to Surat Thani (train / ferry to Samui & Phangan) transfer take?
- About 4–4.5 hours door to door (285 km). Your licensed local driver picks you up anywhere in Phuket — hotel, villa or the airport — and takes you straight to your exact Surat Thani (train / ferry to Samui & Phangan) address — no terminals, no changing vehicles.
- How much is a private car from Phuket to Surat Thani (train / ferry to Samui & Phangan)?
- A fixed, all-inclusive price per vehicle: sedan ฿4,800 (up to 3 passengers) or 9-seat van ฿5,600 (up to 7). Fuel and tolls are included and there is no meter — you pay the driver after the ride.
- Is a private transfer cheaper than the bus or minivan?
