Surat Thani to Koh Samui 🌊 | Why I Skipped a €175 Flight

Today I’m traveling from Surat Thani to Koh Samui — not by plane, but by ferry. A slower route that also saved me up to €175 compared to flying. This video isn’t about travel hacks or rushing to the destination. It’s about the reality of a Thailand travel day: waiting at terminals, moving between heat and air-con, a hotel with no electricity, sitting still, and noticing that quiet mental shift that happens when you leave the mainland behind. I often get asked whether it’s better to fly to Koh Samui or take the ferry from Surat Thani. Instead of breaking it down into numbers and hacks, this video shows what the ferry journey actually feels like — the pace, the experience, and why sometimes the slower option simply makes more sense. 🎒 In this video: – Traveling from Surat Thani to Koh Samui by ferry – Ferry vs flying (cost, time & experience) – The mainland-to-island transition – Slow travel & nomad life realities 📍 Filmed in Thailand 🌴 More Koh Samui, slow travel, and nomad life videos coming next.
