🧭 How it works (step-by-step)

1. 🛬 Airport meet & greet (USM) — Staff waits in the arrivals hall with an operator/FerryAdvice sign. Show your voucher; receive luggage tags.

2. 🚐 Minivan transfer → Pier — 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and the pier used (most commonly Bangrak/Bophut or Lipa Noi/Donsak depending on operator/day).

3. 🚤 High-speed ferry → Koh Tao — Board the catamaran for a scenic crossing to Mae Haad Pier.

4. 🚖 Onward travel on Koh Tao — Taxis/long-tails to Sairee, Chalok, and other beaches are available right at Mae Haad.

💡 Tip: If you’re prone to seasickness, choose mid-ship/lower deck seating and consider a morning crossing when seas are typically calmer.

• ☔ Monsoon buffer: Allow extra time in Oct–Dec; departures can shift with sea conditions.

• 🧭 Save your pier name on the voucher; Samui has multiple piers based on operator/day.
