Ao Nang Pier Railay Beach to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

We were collected from our hotel early which is always a positive! Once I’m the mini bus the air conditioning was very good.
Unfortunately for me about 1:30hour into the journey I started being sick (due to food poisoning) the driver pulled over immediately to allow me to get some fresh air. He did not rush me at any point and kept checking that I was okay. He reassured me we’re we’re not far from the ferry.
Once in the ferry I remained in the mini van with the kind driver coming to check I was okay at least 2 more times.
Myself and my partner were the last stop for the driver at the bottom of Koh Lanta and again he pulled the van over for me to be sick again and checked I was okay to continue.
I could not fault the service provided to me.
I would just like to make people aware that despite the trip being advertised at a 2:30hours journey it did take close to 4 hours (minus our 2 little breaks).

They arrived 1h before the time estimated, we were not ready and they waited for us 15 minutes. We took an amazing van to de bus station when we switched to a tiny one. The driver was very fast and we arrived on time at 12.30 to the hotel! Really nice trip!

The driver had no gps, no internet, no knowledge of Koh Lanta. Spoke very little English, luckily a German couple had internet to guide him. Took much longer than expected

We were picked up about 15 minutes after the deadline, which is normal here, so don't panic! Otherwise just call the hotline at some point.
We drove in an air-conditioned minibus and took a 10-minute toilet break at a petrol station.
We arrived about 30 minutes later and the driver drove a bit fast but still safely. The trip is definitely recommended :)

Wir wurde etwas 15 Minuten nach der Frist abgeholt, ist halt normal hier also keine Panik bekommen! Sonst einfach irgendwann die Hotline anrufen.
Wir sind in einem klimatisierten Minibus gefahren und haben eine 10-minütige Toilettenpause gemacht bei einer Tankstelle.
Sind ca 30min später gekommen und der Fahrer ist etwas rasant gefahren aber dennoch sicher. Der Trip ist auf jedem Fall zu empfehlen :)

The driver arrived 15 minutes after the scheduled time.
But the journey went very well, within the time limit (or a little less) with an air-conditioned car.

Easy journey, great driver.
Stopped twice, gave us delicious free fruit.
We were the first pick up, exactly on time.
Arrived two hours late due to heavy traffic at Koh Lanta ferry terminal.
