A better option for onward travel in Koh Samui from Lipa Noi Raja Pier is to use the RP Van service. This service can be booked on the ferry during the crossing to Koh Samui. The RP Van service works on a fixed fare basis of 150 THB per person to any destination in Koh Samui. The minivans are shared, travelling to different parts of the island so they are not a s quick as taking a taxi as other passengers will be dropped off on route, however, for one or two people travelling together they are a lot cheaper than paying for a private taxi.
