Koh Phi Phi to Bangkok Destination Reviews

Phi Phi to Bangkok. Pretty uncomfortable journey (particularly the night bus) and a little confusing at times as the 12Go Asia ticket doesn't give you a route breakdown, but the staff were helpful and made sure we all got the right buses/vans/ferries etc. We arrived on time and stopped for a decent break/food in the night so can't complain too much, but it isn't comfy so be aware of that!

We took this trip from the Phi Phi islands to Bangkok. First we took a ferry to the mainland which was very cramped. My knees touched the seat in front of me, and I am not a large man. At the pier in Krabi, we had to ask around ourselves to find the next vehicle, which was not a bus but a van that took us to somewhere nearby. There, we wanten for another 15 minutes for another van that took us to Surat Thani. In Surat Thani, we stopped at an open shop at the corner of two streets where we were told to wait 20 minutes. 20 became 40 until a party bus arrived to take us to Bangkok. The bus was not very comfortable, with a platform where the chairs stond on. This platform didn't extend fully under the chair in the aisle seat, meaning you could not comfortably set your feet on the ground. At 12.00 we stopped for 40 minutes at some small place by the road. Finally we arrived at Bangkok about an hoor after schedule. Food and water was not included in the trip. I would recommend booking with another company if you want some more comfort. We did get from A to B though.
