We visited Ko Samui in September 2017. There are ferry services available from Surat Thani to Ko Samui and we boarded ferry at Don Sak Sakon port. There is seating, snack bar, toilets in the ferry and the staff is quite helpful. The journey takes one and half hour and reaches Nathan port on the Samui Island.
