Just be a little bit patient. People will help you as soon as the crowed of people was handled. Wait until they come back. We were the last persons there and were put in an other bus to our planned destination

The ferry was fine but the van/bus from Surat Thani to Krabi was not great, not comfortable and not enough room, no hold for luggage, you end up with your luggage in front of your knees.

Le ferry était bien mais le van/bus de Surat Thani a Krabi n’était pas terrible, pas confortable et pas assez de place, pas de soute pour les bagages on se retrouve avec les bagages devant les genoux

Very poor communication from the company meant that the bus dropped us off at another location rather than the destination listed on our ticket. When we requested a transfer to the stop listed, we were met with laughs and were told to get a taxi at our own cost. In addition the driver drives like a maniac, which is to be expected.

Enjoyed the spacious place for a ride after all tiny speed boats. Would be even better if they offered shuttles from different parts of Koh Samui.

Bit of a disaster to be honest. Ferry was fine, hopped on a bus that we assumed was the last leg of the trip. Was dropped to a bus stop where everyone was separated onto mini-buses-had to wait over an hour. Was then crammed onto a mini-bus for 2 and a bit hours. Was supposed to arrived in Krabi for 1pm, got there after 3pm. Not what was advertised.

Got there on time and fine. The bus driver was super violent with our bags smashing them under the bus and breaking shampoo bottles in them. The bus smelled like pee for the 3 full hours we were in it too

It was a seamless process, and everything was on time and well connected. We reached earlier to Krabi main land, and were connected via an earlier bus, which was ready to leave. The bus service was perfect and we reached to Aonang Transfer 45 minutes before the expected arrival.
Kudos to the managers!

The trip was ok. We did have to pay extra for a bus from Krabi to the hotel in Ao Nang while the booking stated that this was already included. Furthermore, after half an hour the bus made a stop of 15 minutes while the whole trip was only 3 hours.

De reis was Ok. We moesten wel extra bijbetalen voor een bus van Krabi naar het hotel in ao nang terwijl bij het boeken stond dat dit al inbegrepen was. Verder maakte de bus na een half uur al een stop van een kwartier terwijl de hele reis maar 3uur was.

The ferry and the bus to Krabi were honestly excellent, super smooth sailing, the bus wasn’t that long, it stopped once for toilet and snacks. The only issue we had was when we got to Krabi, getting into mini buses was chaotic and the lady at the ticket counter was being so rude, considering it was late and we had all been travelling for ages. Also just a quick PSA stay on Railay Beach, don’t bother with Krabi, there’s 0 to do there and everyone goes to Railay beach for the day anyway.
