About Awaycation Trip
To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Awaycation Trip offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Awaycation Trip?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
- To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
- Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
- Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
- Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
- Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
- Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Awaycation Trip Company Reviews

Sozein SThe whole ride was so rough and bumpy that I have speedboat PTSD. I guess that’s not a fault of the crew and company which is why I left 3 stars. The seats were cramped and barely fit the number of us on. They did get us off on time but because we had to get passengers off at Phi Phi, it delayed our arrival time. I don’t think I can recommend this unless it’s the absolute last resort and the weather was perfect. There was no rain/storm alert but because of the monsoon season, the waves made rough seas.

Rebecca ECrew work hard in the hot sun. Helping clients on and off the boat, carrying large suitcases on and off the boat.
The boat was a bit squishy and warm, but it was better once the boat started moving.
We did leave later than booked time, so be flexible if booking this.

Jane BIt was very bumpy but that’s normal for a speedboat, what we didn’t like was the stench of diesel fumes the whole way. One of the engines broke down halfway but they got it going quickly. After that it seemed like the smell was a bit less.

Aaron AWe waited at the Koh Lipe pier. Now there is a charge of 10 Baht per person to enter the pier. You will need a 10 Baht coin or you can change there too. Once you get in the pier, head to the counter to check in. They will give you a number. You turn to enter the boat is based on the number. The boatman will carry all your big luggages into the boat. Our boat took exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes. There is no delay whatsoever. Great job! I will book again next year!

Sita PThe journey took more than an 1 hour, the boat was over loaded with people and luggage that we ended up having to wait for another boat to take people and luggage so our boat could go faster. This should have been thought about before the scheduled departure or the booking should at least have stipulated that a certain kg of luggage was allowed

And the AC Deck on Ferry to Koh lanta is an ice Chamber, we went outside after a few minutes and found a place on deck with fresh air.

Brad PThe taxi people at the exit door is a racket - not representative of taxi services a mere 60 second walk out on the street. They wanted 900 Baht for my ride, even pointing to a board with ‘pricing’ - NEVER fall for that. After scoffing at my offers, my cost was 500 Baht:)

Vivien FQuick way to get to Krabi from Phuket in a large covered speedboat . Stopped once on way back and let other passengers off.
If weather is ok then it’s smooth ride. It’s quite hot because of the roof coverings which don’t come off and impede a lovely view. But I guess it’s transport and not a pleasure ride.

Aaron OPretty easy to understand. We went at low season so there was no crowds and rushing.
Operators stand at the door of Rassada pier entrance, show your ticket and they’ll point you in the direction of the right desk. (There are 15+, for diff companies).
Check in, they’ll give you a ticket and wait to be called to walk to boat.
Plenty of food options in the Peir, so if you’re in a rush early morning, you can grab something decent there.
Staff were 10/10 - sea a little choppy, but that’s nothing on the operator.
