Everything was okay.
Krabi to Koh Yao Yai, Ferry Speedboat, Green Planet, Mar 16, 2026

Overall great! Driver early - got to where I was going! It actually had a toilet which is super important. The only think that would make it better would be life jackets made mandatory and them having sickness tablets. Thankyou 🙂
