Phantip Travel

Phantip Travel is a large company which has been in operation since 1970. Phantip Travel main business is transport within Surat Thani province particularly on routes connecting the islands of the Samui Archipelago with Surat Thani town, train station and airport. More recently Phantip Travel has expanded its services to routes between Surat Thani and destinations further afield such as Bangkok, Hat Yai, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, and of course Phuket.

Phantip Travel is a budget travel company providing excellent value for money. This reliable and relatively efficient travel operator uses air-conditioned buses with on board toilets. They also provide a drink and snack on the bus. This bus service makes a single comfort break during the journey at a roadside restaurant with clean toilets. The only bad point about this service is that sometimes the bus has to make a number of stops on route to pick up or drop off customers and that can delay the journey.
