Airport speedboat Samui 1500–2000 overpriced most travelers — van Donsak ferry 450 joint saves 1000 baht 90 min longer total. Speedboat rougher small seas bouncy seasick prone worse. Worth only missed last ferry emergency. Desk commission push ignore. Overnight Surat morning ferry calmer cheaper Raja big boat. Same day 1pm land ferry still works.

Declined speedboat — overnight plus morning ferry saved money calmer.
