Koh Lanta to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

Parisa P
First of all, we provided all of our contact details, including our email address and phone number, so that we could be contacted in any situation. We were informed by email that the pickup time would be at 11:00 o’clock. In order to be punctual, we even checked out 20 minutes earlier than necessary. However, we ended up waiting for more than one hour, and we were finally picked up at 11:55. What made the situation even worse was that nobody informed us about the delay or the new pickup time. The driver was also very unfriendly and seemed angry. During my entire trip in Thailand, this was the first time someone behaved so badly toward us. I don’t know maybe he was upset because of the poor coordination. In addition, we had been told that we would arrive at our hotel at 14:40, but we only reached our destination at 15:50. While we were waiting, I called the phone number provided in the PDF several times. Each time, I was only told, “Don’t worry, they are on the way and will pick you up soon,” but nobody could give us any precise or reliable information about the actual pickup time.

Excellent service from all your representatives at ko lanta pier. Helped with checkin, helped with luggage and helped in and out the boat. Whoever was the captain of our speedboat in the day was amazing at handling the boat. Thank you for your smooth and professional connections to the other islands
