#เที่ยวสไมล์ Seatran Ferry Samui (seatran ferry samui) Address - Donsak District and Koh Samui District, Surat Thani Province Atmosphere/Place - Seatran Ferry is a ferry between Donsak District and Koh Samui District. It is a boat that can carry cars, motorcycles and passengers. Which can cross to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I traveled to Koh Samui for the first time. The boat is quite larger than the boat that crosses to Koh Chang, Trat Province. Seatran Ferry The boat ticket here will be a QR code scan. You can scan the grade and go up to the boat.

Koh Samui's main pier is the pier for Seatran Ferries to and from Koh Samui-Donsak and is also a pier for trips to other islands. In front of the pier is the service center for tour companies and taxi queues, vans, and songthaews to various beaches. The fare on the island is quite expensive. If you want to travel around the island, I recommend renting a car. The rental fee is 900-1200 baht per day. Add another 500 baht for gas and you can drive around every beach on the island. #SouthernTeam #WaitingForTheDayToDepart #MissNature

#holidayvacation This cute little cafe in Nathong Pier called Little Green is one of my favorite coffee shop in Thailand, because of their cold refreshments and Thai coffee and also of course as a sweet tooth kind of person their mouthwatering sweet treats is a definition of a real dessert. My favorite is their heavenly chocolate tart that reminds us of Paris, France as they used a very rich and thick cocoa ingredient which is very rare to a cafe using it here. Though it’s a bit expensive compare to others but, I guess the quality speaks for itself. And also they’re just in front of the coast so you can watch sunset while enjoying your foods and drinks. #thanksgiving #merryxmas #travelsnacks#givethanks#travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#deliciousfood#staycation#awesomepic#couplestrip#holidayvacation

#Rainy season destinations ⛴️🌤️ Take the Seatrand ferry to Koh Samui… The view is so good that you have to pick up your camera every 5 minutes! 🌊📸 The first time taking the Seatran ferry from Donsak to Koh Samui, I must say that it was fun even before reaching the island! 💙 Cool sea breeze blowing all the way 💙 Wide sky, blue sea contrasting with the horizon, the view is beautiful no matter how you take a picture 💙 There are places to sit and chill both in the air-conditioned room and on the rooftop. You can choose to get some sun or sit and enjoy the view as you wish. Most importantly 👉 You can bring your car on the ferry, driving to Koh Samui without having to tire yourself out carrying your stuff. 🚢 It takes about 1.5 hours, but it's an hour and a half that you won't get bored at all because the surrounding view is amazing nature. 🌴 For anyone planning to go to Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, I recommend Seatran. The service is good, the travel is convenient, and the view is great without having to edit the picture. 💫 #SeatrandFerry #SeatrandFerry

A worthwhile journey, even if it takes some time. Sometimes, opening your mind to the world and the place where you can relax and have fun. Take a break from work and problems and then be ready to move forward.📍Address: Koh Samui

Before the sun sets, there will be something beautiful for us to see with the atmosphere of Samui Pier, which is another tourist attraction and another check-in point in the evening for tourists to come and watch the sunset.

Budget travel: Take a plane to Surat Thani and then take a boat to Koh Samui. It's so much fun. Beautiful hotels are cheap, only a few hundred baht. When the airline first opened, the round trip price was only about 600 baht. It's super cheap.

Sit back and enjoy the sunset at Pa Pla Na Thon Beach.
