Surat thani - Thai experience next level

We arrived after a 3 hr minibus ride from Ao Nang with Phantrip. A short walk brought us to the night ferry pier where we were due to catch our boat at 10pm.

We had dinner at a few street vendors before going to check into our boat…
Wow. An old wooden boat being loaded with supplies with loads of mattresses lining the floor. That’s a Thai sleeper boat for ya!

We checked in and went for dessert at a popular street vendor. Unsure of how to order, we asked a girl standing next to us. She not only showed us what to do but also spoke no English and communicated with us via Google translate. She (was getting dessert take away) helped us understand the menu and recommended two items to us off the menu which were delicious. The street vendor also gave us free ice cream!

Now, we’re packed like sardines on this boat on route to Koh Tao and I’m sweating buckets. Here’s to our next few hours of sleep on board!Read more
