Question about Combined tours: Phuket (1n) + Koh Samui (5n) + Phuket (1n). Who took these, tell me, how much time does it actually take to travel? Is it worth bothering at all?
I really want to go to Koh Samui... but the vacation is only 7 days. Looking for options.

And what is the point of this 1 day in Phuket?
On the road with what? If by plane, then the road to the airport + 1.5-2 hours to check-in + an hour of flight + the road from the airport. Phuket - just a transit point for a trip to Koh Samui?

Such conditions of the tour operator. it's a package tour. Suddenly someone took similar tours, I would like to hear feedback.
аватар dkaty1
the issue price is about 80 thousand for two from Moscow (4 * hotels)
аватар Pachok
The cost in rubles means nothing to me. But I wouldn't go on that tour. The operator, most likely, just has a basic flight to Phuket, and this turns out to be 2 days just "transit". Does the package specify the type of transfer from Phuket to Koh Samui? Why not from Bangkok? From there, Bangkok Air flies to Koh Samui every hour, no need to change the airport or waste a day.
But now the season is starting in Phuket, why fly to Koh Samui?

transfer Phuket-Samui is a bus + ferry.
аватар Pachok
Sure, it's all day long. More precisely, 2 days, because there / back.
Decide for yourself then whether you need such a long road for the sake of 5 days of rest.
I would choose:
- only a week in Phuket,
- or a week on Koh Samui with an internal flight from Bangkok
- or a week of Krabi, there from Phuket the transfer is quite short

by bus about 4 - 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours by ferry, you can see landscapes, towns and villages and the life of Thailand, and a sea trip you can take good photos and admire the sea, but you will be there for few days, only 5 days
аватар dkaty1
Vika284, thanks for the answer. I think it will still take time to wait for the ferry and to stop along the way ... probably the whole day on the way will turn out
5 days is certainly not enough, but it's a lot, for those who have a short vacation))

For 80 thousand for two, you can endure on a bus with a ferry. Logistics on Koh Samui is better through Bangkok, of course, by plane, but it will also be more expensive. I would go on this combo tour.

Ferries run once an hour
If you really want to go
on vacation 100% agree

The author, and in Phuket itself, the operator does not offer anything at a good price?
аватар Pahabumer
I took this tour and won't take it again. Departure at 7:00, To the ferry from Phuket by minivan 4-5 hours, by ferry about 2 hours, arrived at the hotel on Koh Samui at 16:00. All day on the road. We were taken back not at 7 in the morning, but at 10, and we arrived in Phuket late in the evening.

Can you fish from the ferry?
аватар Pahabumer
No. Just stand on deck.
аватар ollennka
It will be a super-fish, so hungry that it will not be embarrassed by the noise of the ferry, and so agile that at a speed of 30-40 km / h it manages to grab the hook.

Do you think it would be better to choose a tour to Phuket? To be honest, there are good options, we are already scanning!
Maybe because of the unstable weather in October, we come across "tasty" prices for us.
аватар Pachok
Of course better! You won't lose two for such a not so long tour. I really love Koh Samui, but there is nothing so exclusive that it would be worth going there. Rather, there are more entertainment in Phuket.
аватар JeryLee
I do not like Koh Samui and forced long journeys just like that. Phuket is a great place. Don't waste two days screwing up the ferry and exhausting the bus. Especially if it's the first time. Then you can go on trips around Tai. It's fun if you do it yourself and have a good plan.
