Phuket to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

We made 1 stop for the passengers and 10 for the driver to pick up parcels and drop them off, the middle of the bus was filled with these packages and there were ants on the ceiling

They were punctual at the hotel for the pick up. From krabi to phuket was a bit long but several stops were made

Departed and arrived punctually, so whole the trip was 6 hours sharp. Stopped briefly several times to pick up people in bus stops and in Krabi airport, also 20 minutes for lunch. There is not much space between seats and they cannot be reclined. AC was at a nice temperature. At some point the driver offered to take each passenger to their hotels/prefered stops; for me it was 80THB being the furthest which was therefore quite cheap.

Left on time, arrived on time. The driver even dropped us off at our hotel for a cheaper price than a taxi would have been. Great service and I didn’t think it stopped too often either.

It was great, takes you straight from Terminal to the island. Stops off along the way for passengers and packages. You get a chance to stop off for lunch. Friendly staff. Left a bit late, arrived a bit late but that was expected.

1hr and half late, stopped multiple times along the way. Loaded fish, meat products onto the bus. Did get us from A to B successfully though! And offered to drop us directly to hotel for a bit more money which was cheaper than getting a taxi. Not much leg room, aircon isn't amazing, a few 10 minute stops. It was fine. The driver was very friendly.

We left on time from the bus station. We stopped many times to withdraw packages as usual on this rides. It should have been 4.30h of traveling while it took us about 6.30h.

The buss broke twice. Yeah sometimes cars break, but telling every one they will fix it or another buss will arrive soon, when clearly there was no one coming to fix it. 10 hours for a 4 hour ride… that was longest 4 hours since last time

Was OK, only unfortunately 1.5 h longer than indicated, because we also still play letter carrier and have everywhere packages taken and delivered

The bus was easy to find, and was good value for the relatively low price. We left 15 minutes late and had a small, about 15 minute loop on the way, but other than that, we went quite fast and steady. Despite this, the trip took about 1.5 hours longer than estimated, which is why I find it weird that they have a clearly too low trip duration estimate on the site. It should be 5.5 hours. The driver was cool and the aircon was adequate. We had two quick toilet breaks. I would recommend this to travellers on a budget and would NOT recommend this to people who want luxury or people with small children who can't sit quietly still for hours.
