What happened I’m at islander now
Funny I stayed at that chewang hotel for 5-6 weeks last year
Hope you guys have a fun trip! It is nice to have folks to run around with. I appreciate the budget aspect of your adventures. You can see and do more when you keep things reasonable. Can't wait to see more of the island!
Thanks Matt, so try mate and a massive thank you for the coffee’s, really appreciate it and your ongoing support 🙏🙏🙏👍
I checked flight prices. Non stop (70 minutes) from UTP to USM is $244 USD or 8600 Baht at todays exchange rate. So the ferry is over half the cost plus you get to take your bike. The trade off is the long boat ride compared to flying.
That’s a good option but we wanted to experience the ferry which felt more like a cruise and it was enjoyable 👍
Thanks for watching & making a comment 🙏
Having done the trip from Port Melbourne to Tassie & back many Decades ago, I can say that trying to sleep in seats is a really bad option. Having the sleeper capsule is well worth it just from a comfort perspective imo. Hope the 3 of you have a great time, as I'm sure you will. Great company makes for great times. Enjoy Jas. ;)
Thanks mate, the ocean was absolutely calm as, no swell whatsoever and a really enjoyable experience. Yes, great friends even though I’m the third wheel, Cooper and Darlen are really good friends 👍
Wow! Sealed roads! Last time I stayed in Lamai all the roads, including the main one heading north, were gravel. The local medical clinic did a roaring trade in patching up motorcyclists who had serious abrasions (and worse). They had photos on the walls in an effort to make people aware of the conditions. Must be so much safer now.
Yeah great roads now, wow how long ago was that?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 1995. And it was so beautiful. So much sublime scenery in Thailand. Favorite spot was Raleigh beach and surrounding areas, near Ao Nang, as well as Phi Phi Is, staying in a very basic grass hut up on a hill.
Hi Jason, sorry I can't leave you alone but I'm hooked! Lol. 1000bht for that room, I think I prefer Jason's adventures 👍 don't be too much in awe mate 🙏
Lol 😂 thanks mate, never bothering me so all good. Moving to another hotel today👍
Great video again Jason. I’m up the road in a seaside hut at an Army base, although open for public use, in Hat Wanakhon. Catch up soon mate.
Thanks, I didn’t realize you lived here. Catch up would be good 👍
Just here for the week, back in Jomtien and then settle in at the Amazon condo.
nice video.. saw you on the ferry..
Thanks, wished you have had said hello 👍 Enjoy Samui and thank you for watching 😁
Really looking forward to your Samui adventure Jason . I liked the island when away from Chaweng & Lamai . Since 2 year Covid shutdown it looks a shadow of its former self .
Was that 3k capsule a sweat box for cat napping ? As I've seen the facilities & comfort levels of that vessel they are far superior to any VIP 1st class coach or 1st class sleeper train I might have opted for foot passenger if on budget .
Have a great time mate
Thanks Paul, yeah I was here in June last year and it was dead back then, this year it is actually pretty busy. The capsule was okay but you need to leave the curtain open a little to let the air in, otherwise it was good and enjoyable 👍👍
Thanks mate
Nice room for 1,000 baht. You forgot to mention, how much was the big double bed cabin on the boat?
Thanks, their room was 7200 baht
Hi Jason, see the ferry advertised and wondered how much it was so good heads up. Was it pretty calm?
I’ll be honest, I’m not good on the water and my preference would be to fly. I see you mention about flying from Bangkok, but you can fly from U Tapao for around 6,000 return, plus an 800 baht taxi from Pattaya so all in around 7,600 baht return.
Obviously, the benefit on the ferry is taking your bike which I’m sure will be a blast. I’ve been there twice and love the island.
That room looks great value at 1,000 baht.
Enjoy.
G’day Keith, mate the water is so calm you barely realise you are on a boat, almost zero movement. Yeah U-Tapao is a great option, we just wanted to experience it, I love the island too, much busier than when I was here in June last year.
Thanks mate 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Great stuff. Love the idea of taking your own bike as you have done too. Samui great, my number one island. Have a great time.
@@keef6586 thanks mate 👍
I enjoy ferry rides and after seeing the sleeping quarters, I would definitely make that trip.
It was an enjoyable experience 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 hello how can we book a ticket for this boat?? I can't find the website? Thank you for your help
That's a really nice room and good price. How's the truck doing. Have a great time in Koh Samui man.☘️🍺
Thanks mate, Maxine (Hilux) is going great 👍
An adventure everyday mate enjoy
Thanks mate 👍👍👍
Great value accom/pool considering location and super cheap f & b for Samui.....Good find..................................never heard of dual pricing on ferries b4......national parks, sure and Bangkok Airways resident 30% discount, again well known, but ferries, that's a first for me.....................................gotta say though, even if one was to pay 500b for a one way from Patts to Samui on foot, that's great value if you don't mind toughing it............................................thoroughly enjoyable vid...........................
Thanks mate, appreciate your support and comments as always, the ferry was good, more like a cruise ship 👍
FROM WHERE TO BUY FERRY TICKET TO KOH SAMUI FROM PATTAYA CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME THE LINK. THANKS.

It stopped running a while back

Gonna call that Cozy Mui, Jaseray!
Lol 😂 very good mate, yep very cozy 👍
Lol.....Took Crew Rest in similar capsules in my Flying Days .....Hope you got some kip 😅
Haha, I managed an a couple of hours I think 🤔 wasn’t too bad and quite enjoyable 👍
How much was the cabin on the ferry because there is no way I would have got in those pods( far too claustrophobic) ☹️☹️ Great price for your room on the island, I guess low season price .
G’day Jack, the cabin my friends had was 7200 baht one way 👍
We’re there any activity to do on the ferry? 16 hours is too much for me. Would have been faster and cheaper to go bangkok and get a flight no?
It goes over night I believe.. So youl be asleep for most of it. There was entertainment on board when it first started? It may have been cut due to low numbers of passengers?
They had music playing on the top deck plus had a bar down near the restaurant, air conditioning and like a little night club with laser lights etc 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 oh that sounds decent enough 👌🏻
Hope you have a nice few days on the island, hotel for 1000 baht is great value cheers Greg
Thanks mate, appreciate your support as always and taking the time to comment. Looking forward to some time away with good friends 👍
Which resort?

Good room
✅👍😁
Price koh samui to pattaya ferry ?
Not sure it’s currently running but here is a link to their facebook page
facebook.com/fb.theseahorseferryofficial?mibextid=hu50Ix
It’s worth it for the tub alone ..!!!...
👍👍👍
The ferry won't be around for long... It's running virtually empty on most days other than the Thai Holiday weekends...
When a family takes a car it works out expensive, very expensive for the average Thai... Also the demand isn't there for the regular sailings needed to make money.
Yeah I think your right, today is the last ferry until August, annual maintenance they told us. So we are going to Surat Thani by ferry and riding back via Hua Hin
Where can i book the tickets online???
Hi Amanda, unfortunately the ship is not currently operating but you can check their Facebook page
facebook.com/fb.theseahorseferryofficial?mibextid=LQQJ4d
It’s cheaper to fly from u-tapao airport I paid 5400 b return going July 3 for 3 nights.
That’s a great price, we wanted to experience the ferry and take our bikes, ferry was great 👍
I didn't know you could get a ferry to Ko samui from pattaya area
It’s a fun journey 👍
Here’s a link showing the Blue Dolphin in Japan before being sold to a Thai company. It’s cool because it shows the front opening up to disembark.

Thank you for sharing this, I will watch this later 👍
Not a bad room for 1000 baht
Yeah it was not to bad really
Jason, how much was your friends room on the Ferry, and also at the hotel. I would have liked to see their Pool Villa. I bet the Pool Villa was Very Nice, because your room looked Really Nice!!
7200 baht and pool villa 3000, watch tomorrow’s video for a two bed pool villa we are moving too. I didn’t get a chance to video before they unpacked 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Awesome Jason...and I'll be On the Lookout for the New Video!!
where we can buy or book tickets for Pattaya -Ko samui ferry?
It’s not currently in service but they have a Facebook page, look up Seahorse Ferry 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 yes..i saw that page & their website,but booking option is no where.. could you suggest any other ferry service to ko samui from pattaya pls
@@rakeshr5135 there are no others from Pattaya but you can fly direct from U-Tapao airport near Pattaya otherwise it’s a 12 hour drive to Surat Thani to catch the ferry across to Samui
@@goodvibespattaya2423 okay.👍
That is a nice looking ferry. Puts PI ferries to shame. I hope they start that ferry to Hua Hin again.
It is a great ferry, more like a cruise ship and really enjoyable. Yeah agree, we just found out that ferry was no longer running
The hua hin ferry finished due to the exact problem this one is facing. High prices and lack of demand... I think this one won't last long too...
Is it compulsory to purchase a room or capsule on the ship ? Can you stay up all night at the bar ?
No, you can stay up all night and sleep anywhere on deck or reception etc just no access to the capsule or suites areas for 500 baht one way 👍
I think you said "stay tuned" about 20 times
Lol 😂 I will stop saying that 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 🤣🤣🤣
Cooper seems like the type of guy whom likes throwing his money around. I prefer the budget route like you. Spend the money on other things.
Got his lass with him for a special trip and if you got the 💰 you may as well spend it cos you can't take it with you.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎
@dobryden8558 oh I spend it, just differently.
Utapao to Koh Sami return approx B7000 😂😂
Yes, I neglected (forgot) to mention that so thank you 🙏
The ferry isn't just competing against flights to koh samui.. Which are high due to monopoly in place. They also compete against the much cheaper flights to Krabi, phuket etc etc...
@@martynrollinson I understand and depends but you want but good vibes only mentioned flying from Bangkok and the cost. Just saying there is a choice from a nearer airport. But if you want to chill and have the time the ferry is a good option especially if you are a cheap Charlie and don’t pay for a cabin.
ill have a beer with you when you arrive
Sounds good 👍
I’m around chewang but I can head down to lammi but I only know of silver beach on the right hand side bar restaurant but there is the Bondi bar at lammi which I can try and find
Sorry I n very little of that area it was over twenty years ago that I stayed there
Or you can come to chewang and head to the islander on Soi 2 or beach road always has the coldest beer and a good selection of food
@@user-ig4my6et4w okay, we are changing hotels today and will be in Chewang until Friday, catch up one day this week at the islander 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 ok let me know it’s about a 10 min ride
I’ve been to Samui over 30 times but mainly the chewang area now living here for good
Let me know
@@goodvibespattaya2423 you need to get upto the jungle club the very is sensational Between lammi and chewang left hand side going up the hill if you want a good view of Samui
