Koh Samui back to Bangkok (and a Ferry Snack)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

For more travel and food, head over to my blogs: and I normally dont like to travel quickly, but this trip to Koh Samui was a quick one - the reason is because we already had some family commitments back in Bangkok, and because were getting ready to take a trip to Taiwan and on the the Philippines very soon. So we only ended up staying in Samui for 4 nights, 5 days, and then we needed to get back home. We started the day off at our hotel, Lazy Days Samui Beach Resort, by first having breakfast, then doing some work in the morning. Towards the middle of the morning, we packed our bags, and walked out to the main road to catch a public transportation truck back to Nathon, the pier town in order to catch a ferry back to the mainland part of Surat Thani. We waited for about 10 minutes until our ride came, and we arrived back to Nathon at about lunch time and we were both hungry. There were some restaurants, but we didnt have much time explore and choose a good place, so we stopped at a place right along the road that looked alright. We had a number of different curries and dishes and Ying had some soup. The food was alright, but nothing too special. After lunch we headed off to the Seatran ferry office on the pier to buy our tickets, but to our disappointment, the office said they couldnt sell us tickets from the ferry to the bus to the airport. Instead we had to walk all the way back into town to a place called Panthip Travel to buy the ferry bus combination tickets which cost 400 THB. We had about an hour, so stopped to have a coffee and proceeded. That was all for Koh Samui, we got on the Seatran ferry which took us to a bus where we went back to Surat Thani International Airport and then caught our flight back to Bangkok. I want to say a big thank you for watching this series of Koh Samui travel videos. If youre have seen all the videos in the series, heres the full playlist starting from Day 1: That completes Day 5 of our short trip to Koh Samui

I figure you did not fly out of Samui as you were were trying to save money on nok? But really how much time did you lose versus the cost savings compared to flying right from the island. The thing that would driven me crazy was the whole if you want the ferry bus package and why would they not be able to do that at the ferry terminal and have to backtrack to get it. Typical thailand but then again TIT right.

Mark, your travel/food videos are wonderful, i have enjoyed them tremendously. In fact, I've been binging on them because we'll be visiting Asia this summer so this is my way of doing research before going. I stumbled upon your videos just 4 days ago and now your vlogs are my go-to source for information. I love love your vlogs. I can't say that enough. U doing great work Thanks.

I've been loving these videos. I know you can't do daily videos usually, but these have been a treat. especially the one meal that you didn't like. Loved that. One thing, are most of those little road-side places serving room temp food? I often see the post just sitting out. Just wondered if they are hot or cold. Keep it up, Mark. You are doing a great job.

Hi Mark, Thank you for another excellent installment. Will you now be making more videos focusing on Bangkok? I'm hoping you will, as I'm traveling there in September. Wondering if you can recommend personal faves for affordable great seafood, whether street food/restaurant, perhaps a place you intend to profile soon.

Thank you Mark and Ying for sharing an interesting journey with us. Even little things like walking places was interesting. The food looked good thanks for explaining each dish. Thank you for being honest about the bad food place too God bless your travels.

It was nice to follow you guys on the trip. Thanks for all the tips and things. Next time you are in Hawaii, I hope some rich person puts you up on the island of Lana'i. That is my favorite island and it has a lot to offer. I look forward to the next video

You seriously need to patent that 'opened wide mouth before you shove the spoon of food in and then the face dropped to the right' look. You got me watching all your Thai expeditions for the past 2 days Sharks Now I don't have time to watch other stuff.

A lot of work goes into a production like this and that's before getting into any of your associated works. Know that we appreciate all you do to bring us along with you to each new stop on what I hope is a never-ending food traveler's quest.

that brown thing sounded and looks so much like what we have in the philippines. in bohol, the island next to cebu, they sell this thing called kalamay. and its probably the same thing as that only its wrapped in coconut shells.
