Hotel Booking on the internet - innit easy ? er not always some (the cheapest agency) have cancellation pages. Some don't and don't answer e-mails - guess you just book again and lapse the original.

Surat Thani is definitely not a tourist trap but as a Folkie that is just fine - people and what the common man does are just as interesting for 12 hours.

Someone suggested a floorshow with Ladyboys was not to be missed. Well that is a bit of culture I can miss quite happily - even once.
I prefer real men - like Morris - and I don't pay to see them!

not even mariners?

I had come to that conclusion and I might see a bit of the local town life night/next day - only need to be at Samui/Chaeweng Beach by late afternoon / early evening. Like the sound of the hotel called Moby Dick (or is it the Prints of Whales?)

I suppose it depends where you are going, there is more than one route. In fact I think there is more than one terminal.

When we crossed to Koh Samui it was only about 4 hours, but that was daytime.

Anyone any experience

Or should I get a reasonable hotel (suggestions?) and pick a ferry next day?
