We are quite disappointed with the service during our recent flight. We asked several times for blankets, but our requests were unfortunately ignored each time. We understand that flights can be busy, but basic comfort requests such as blankets should not be repeatedly overlooked. We hope you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the passenger experience. Kind regards, Enzo Taramelli

Driver came almost an hour later than our appointment. We thought, maybe we will be the last ones to be picked up, but that was not the case: we had to do 4 stops after us, so the driver just started the trip late. We texted the 'hotline' wich was online on whatsapp multiple times if we had missed our minivan, but they didnt respond. Also tried to called the number, but did not answer. The driver drove like an idiot: almost pushed two other cars off the road and overtook other cars where it was totally irresponsible.

The boat could not go to the pier so we had to change boats in the middle of the sea. It was due to the tides but I think that is something they could have predicted. They help with the luggage but the trip was double the time and very stressful.

Great seamless service. Everything went smoothly. We took this boat in February and there was no problems. Nothing like what you see online.

Very good experience for the transfer from Koh Lanta to Ao Nang. The customer service was extremely responsive, especially via WhatsApp, which was very reassuring for a multi-step journey. They picked me up directly from my hotel in Koh Lanta, which made the departure very easy and convenient. There was a significant delay on the road, but the customer service team remained available and transparent throughout. They made sure to inform the boat about our late arrival to avoid any issues. Once we arrived in Krabi, another taxi was already waiting to take me directly to my hotel in Ao Nang. The coordination was smooth despite the delay. I would definitely recommend this service.

Long backup line to the ferry added an hour not the fault of company/driver. Driver safe and made up some time but did not communicate leaving passengers unclear what was going on. Thankfully the ferry had restrooms and we were able to get out of the vehicle on our own.
