Our takeaways on this crossing
- It was a pleasant crossing and everything was well organized, from the pier to arrival.
- When you arrive on Koh Tao, you’ll need to pay a port fee in cash. From what we remember, it was about 20 Baht per person. So make sure to have some small bills with you.
- Book your crossing in advance, as it can get crowded on board.
- Make sure to have your sunscreen within reach, because if you're sitting on the upper deck, you'll be spending several hours in the sun.
