Pick up was on time and the crossing was good. The interior cabin air con was seriously cold. People were wrapping themselves up in towels or leaving after 10 mins to sit outside. Other than that everything was good

The van was late and the driver stopped a couple of the time on the road for no reason (like at Krabi's airport, without dropping or picking up people) and we arrived later than mentioned.

A taxi picked from our hotel in Ao Nang and took us to a bus station where we had to change to a minibus. The legroom was quite small in the minibus but for this short trip it was okay.
