• ⏱️ If you have a tight connection, carry-on only helps—check-in lines can be busy.

• 🧥 Bring a light jacket (AC on minivan/ferry can be cool).

• ☔ 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.
