Ao Nang to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

TS
Sehr geehrtes Team von 12GoAsia, wir möchten hiermit eine formelle Beschwerde zu einem über Ihre Plattform gebuchten Transfer von Ao Nang nach Koh Lanta einreichen. Der Transfer wurde vom lokalen Veranstalter Jijie Tour & Travel durchgeführt und war in keiner Weise zufriedenstellend. Der Transfer war extrem schlecht organisiert. Der Bus war offensichtlich überbucht, sodass weder ausreichend Sitzplätze noch ausreichend Stauraum für das Gepäck vorhanden waren. Das Gepäck wurde wahllos in jede freie Ecke gestopft, zwischen die Sitze gepresst oder den Fahrgästen auf den Schoß gelegt. Dies war nicht nur äußerst unkomfortabel, sondern auch unzumutbar und sicherheitsrelevant. Obwohl wir unser Gepäck ordnungsgemäß bei der Buchung angegeben hatten, wurden wir vom Fahrer in unfreundlichem Tonfall dafür kritisiert, dass das Gepäck angeblich zu groß sei. Dieses Verhalten war respektlos und in keiner Weise kundenorientiert. Hinzu kam, dass die gebuchte Abholzeit von 11:15 Uhr nicht eingehalten wurde. Tatsächlich wurden wir erst kurz vor 12:00 Uhr abgeholt. Der Fahrer wirkte bei der Abholung sowie während der Fahrt deutlich gestresst und schlecht gelaunt. In Gesprächen mit anderen Fahrgästen im Bus stellte sich zudem heraus, dass ein weiteres Paar eine Abholung um 10:50 Uhr gebucht hatte, jedoch ebenfalls deutlich verspätet abgeholt wurde. Nach unserer Einschätzung erklärt diese mangelnde Einhaltung der Abholzeiten maßgeblich das entstandene Chaos, den Zeitdruck sowie die offensichtliche Überbuchung des Fahrzeugs. Zusätzlich war auch das Personal am Busbahnhof überfordert und unorganisiert. Es war nicht in der Lage, eindeutig festzustellen, welche Passagiere über ein gültiges Ticket mit korrekter Buchungsnummer verfügten. Dies führte zu erheblicher Verwirrung und unnötigem Stress vor der Abfahrt. Besonders problematisch war außerdem, dass zusätzliche Gepäckstücke bzw. Pakete, die offenbar privat waren und an ein Hotel auf Koh Lanta adressiert wurden, ebenfalls im Bus transportiert wurden. Dies geschah trotz der Tatsache, dass bereits für das reguläre Passagiergepäck kaum Platz vorhanden war. Der ohnehin unzureichende Stauraum wurde dadurch weiter blockiert, was die Situation im Bus zusätzlich verschärfte und aus unserer Sicht in keiner Weise akzeptabel ist. Wir reisen seit vielen Jahren regelmäßig durch Asien und haben bereits zahlreiche Transfers unterschiedlichster Anbieter genutzt. Einen derart schlecht organisierten und unangenehmen Transfer haben wir jedoch noch nie erlebt. Besonders bezeichnend war zudem, dass von den 13 verfügbaren Sitzplätzen am Ende vier Personen am Busbahnhof zurückblieben, die nicht mehr mitgenommen wurden – ein klares Zeichen für massive Überbuchung und mangelhafte Planung. Unserer Meinung nach sollte ein Fahrzeug nicht bis zum letzten Platz belegt werden, wenn gleichzeitig Gepäck transportiert werden muss. Entweder sollte der Ticketpreis realistisch angepasst werden, um ausreichend Platz und Komfort zu gewährleisten, oder es sollten von vornherein größere Fahrzeuge eingesetzt bzw. Überbuchungen konsequent vermieden werden. Wir erwarten von einer über 12GoAsia vermittelten Leistung ein Mindestmaß an Organisation, Sicherheit und Kundenservice. Dies war hier leider in keiner Weise gegeben. Wir bitten Sie, diese Beschwerde ernst zu nehmen, den Vorfall intern zu prüfen und uns mitzuteilen, wie Sie mit dieser Angelegenheit umgehen werden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Tanja Schneider

We got picked up by a car, taken to the bus station waited here for someone to tell us what was happening but no one spoke English, and then picked up by a van but we didn’t know what was going on, we just got told to get out and then get in, so if you’re a person that needs to know whats going on or how long it’s gonna be etc then this is not for you

It was not clear what part of the trip will be with ferry and what part will be van. More information would help. We ended up being 45 minutes late.

Seemed organised initially but then when we got on the boat that was clearly over-subscribed it went downhill from there. Stopped at Railay Beach and asked 8 people to get off and go on another boat, but had to leave our bags on the initial boat, which I wasn't overly comfortable with.

It took 6 hours instead of 2,5 due to the pick ups and waiting, maybe that time should be displayed instead of 2.5
