Ao Nang to Phuket Destination Reviews

AT
During booking the trip it was mentioned that bus gonna be comfortable minivan. The minivan actually came to pick me up from hotel, but he just drop me to bus station and I need to wait 50 min outside for another bus. They brought very old bus with very small leg space which cause pain to sit there. The luggage was placed in the middle of aisle, so you cant even keep legs out to rest the knee pain. I sat on single sit, than driver forced me to sit in the front on double sit with another person. When I asked him why I cant sit alone where I feel comfortable, he was very rude and shouting back.

Quick speedy service from Ao Nong to Phuket taking 1 hr. Was very organised at check-in. Only issue was it looked like the speed boat was overbooked. One or two folk looked like they had a very uncomfortable journey with half a seat. Otherwise a good journey.
