When I was booking on the platform, the description said ferry + van. The meeting point was at ao nam mao pier, thinking I am going to boarding a ferry and then in phuket van to bus terminal. They pick us up by van at the pier, drove us to bus station in krabi and there we were waiting to change. Then a regular local bus came where they boarded me. The bus took 4h to Phuket. So there was no ferry. I took taxi to the pier, have I known I could have just taken bus from airport to bus station instead doing this detour and wasting my time.

It wasn't too bad, did the job of taking me from Krabi to Phuket, for very cheap, so obviously don't expect any luxury or even confort. The AC worked okay and there was one bathroom break, so it was fine. On the downside, the bus was quite late, it's a bus for the locals so nobody spoke English naturally which was a bit challenging when I tried to get information on how to catch a city bus in Phuket. The worst was that the seats are so small my and my neighbor's shoulders were pressed together the whole time, sweating against each other... you get what you pay for ;)

Bus was on time from Krabi terminal. There were no issues in boarding the bus from the terminal. Staff were helpful in guiding us. Only the bus quality have been a bit better if we could charged a bit more. Thanks.
