What is the best bus service from Bangkok to Koh Samet that goes directly?

@Stephen **********

no

@Luc ***********

thx

@Henrik ****

yes. But when you buy the tickets from Ekkamai bus station they tell you it’s direct, they usually say 3. Or 3.5 hours. Which is about right but there is a 2.5 hr route they never take

@Steve ******

yes true. They always drop and pick up random people.

buy ticket at Ekkamai bus station in advance or on the day. Big bus 180b. Smaller bus 200b. Big bus has a toilet. At Ban phe find ferry pier 50b ferry 30 mins or speedboat 15 mins one way 400b return (varies on where you buy it) Nuanthip pier seems the nicest and most organised pier. Although there are 2 or 3. If you know when you are coming back buy a return ticket for the bus and the speedboat and then you will be told where to go for the return boat/bus because otherwise you may end up in a different pier for your bus back. (From experience). You can buy bus ticket back to Bkk from Nuanthip pier to Ekkamai. Also some buses go to mo chit. So be careful.
