Overall a great way of moving from Krabi to Phuket. The boat was 20 min late and the leg room was limited which is the reason for 4 and not 5 stars.

The driver was late and then asked for an extra 500 baht. The company blocked me from the chat and didn't respond to my messages.

Half of the people waiting to board were able to leave on time. They had half the group fill up one boat and the other half had to wait for an hour for another boat. There was no communication as to what was going on at all, but I understand that may be hard with the language barrier so I'm not factoring that part into my score.

We took this bus because it said that we would be quicker, ended up taking 1 hour longer than expected cuz we had to stop and check 40min into the ride… after that we had to get on a different bus because people couldn’t fit, new bus was better tho but overall not really good when it comes to logistics and organisation
