Koh Lanta to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

KS
Overall the mini bus was very comfortable compared to to other minibuses I’ve been in, we had 60L and 30L back packs which they accommodated in the back, the driver was 40 minutes early before pick up time so make sure you are ready with plenty of time. Our driver was also very efficient at driving and had good time, honestly didn’t feel like you were in a van for long. Once we got into Krabi they drop you off at a 12Go shop which you then change minibus to get dropped off at your hotel, this was about a 10-15minute wait till the next driver came.

The driver was often looking at his phone, his papers, and was not really focused on the road.

The transport was great, but we arrived 1 hour later then anticipated. We had a stopover at Krabi. Not such big problem but would have wanted to know upfront.
