Phuket to Krabi Destination Reviews

No tracking. No Internet based support. No english speaking operators. When we finally got the super-old and rickety bus, definitely not a VIP AC van (minibus 1996) we were unceremoniously dumped into the last seat of the bus among the luggage. We had to argue with the conductor to be moved to a decent seat to spare our backs. What you pay is what you get, I guess.

The trip was scheduled for 10:00, but the vehicle arrived at 11:20. Overall, though, everything was great!!!

We came in with our luggage. The saus all luggage weight and sizes. As i came there the lady said i have to pay 100 baht. This is not what all size and weight means. She was very rude and wouldnt even read the ticket. I paid the money but she didnt even put the money in the counter. It was all a big scam. The man at the vehicel and the drivers were very nice and helpful.

Ride had A/C, but this was not a VIP bus. It's probably a 20 year old bus that shows the wear of a 20 year old bus. There were no issues getting to Krabi, but just don't have high expectations for a $13 bus ride.
