February 22nd, 2010
Click ‘watch in high quality’ at the right bottom of the video clip.
The first 50 seconds video clip in part1 showing the barricade by army before reaching Hatyai. I think somewhere around Chana area.
Arrived at Hatyai 5.30pm and trip to Koh Samui from Hatyai only avail at morning 9.00am. Bought join ticket (bus/ferry) direct from Hatyai to Koh Samui at 550baht but later have to add 250baht at Suratthani 
.
9.00am- van pickup from Chan Travel (near Lee Garden, just beside Grand Plaza hotel). Stop at Chao Vang Travel to pickup 7 more people, but we were dropped at a bus/van station at Hatyai only knowing we have to wait some more before departing to Suratthani. Only by 10.10am we got an old van moving to Suratthani. (I don’t think the direct ticket we bought should be like this?).
2.30pm- reached Suratthani town but the travel agent here told us we have to wait until 4.30pm for our bus to Donsak?. She also told us the ticket we bought is catering only the slow boat which will take 4 hours to reach Koh Samui (I sense she is lying here!!). This means we will only reach Koh Samui around 10.00pm. The Suratthani no-name travel broker is near the “Sports World” shop as you can see from the video clip part2 (video at 01:49). She asked us if we want to reach Koh Samui sooner, we have to pay another extra 250 baht. If we pay the additional money now we can have our bus moving now and we will have a faster boat which will take only 2 hours instead of 4 hours. We don’t want to reach Koh Samui that late so we paid her 250 baht each. Then immediately using their own personal car and a bike they brought us to a very near ‘SeaTran Ferry’ bus ticket counter. It’s 3.00pm by now and the new ticket we just got is 3.30pm bus. It also stated 200 baht only??. (every time they drop us, they will just leave us as quickly as possible ??)
4.35pm- arrived at the Donsak peer, and the next ferry to Samui is 5.00pm so it’s just nice for us. Asked around if there’s any slow boat such as 4 hours trip to Koh Samui from Donsak? Well there aren’t any! We arrived at Koh Samui peer 2 hours later, finally. (No night boat from Donsak but there’s night boat from Suratthani to Koh Samui/Koh Tao (expensive ticket!) and the last ferry from Donsak peer is 7.00pm.
I think from this experience and for the next trip to Koh Samui, I won’t buy the direct ticket Hatyai-Samui from the travel agent instead I will try to travel by self. I think it is better to take a bus from Hatyai bus station to Suratthani (cost only 250-300baht) and from Suratthani look for the “SeaTran Ferry” bus ticket counter (take the tuk tuk which always cost 20 baht only for each trip around the town area). The join ticket (bus/ferry) to Koh Samui cost only 200 baht and it’s hourly available here.
**The Seatran Ferry ticket counter at Suratthani is just in front of the big Budhist temple, name pronounced as ‘wat thumb boo char Suratthani’. (char as in charcoal) check it out from the video part2 clip.
