It’s not nice that you have to walk from the agency to the pier. It’s unclear which pier you had to take. There was no wifi on the boat. You had to take the bus aswel and that wasn’t described on the ticket. The drop off at the hotel was chaotic and not organized.

Ferry was fine. Paid for VIP room. My suitcase was taken from me and I was told to leave it inside the ferry. It was not unloaded with other bags and left on pier. Had to wait until all other guests were off before I could go back in for my bag. Van driver was not waiting as per video. Had to search for correct van. Van was overcrowded. Seats were uncomfortable. Driver was not friendly.

All good except a delay between ferry and coach but think they possibly was to do with a couple on the coach who maybe shouldn’t have been as others due to be on coach were left waiting so our coach left late. Nesbit to arrive in Ao nang at 5.10 but arrived at 7pm
