Koh Lanta to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

LG
Our Minibus was very old and the second Bus driver was continously playing on his phone. Also the AC didn‘t work properly on the second Bus and it had 29 degrees in the passanger compartment. Use the toilet in krabi because there is only one stop close to the ferry! But its a cheap way for backpackers to go to Ko Samui. Next time i stay in Phi Phi. Its way better there

We were probably last minute put into a trip so we were crammed up in a minivan for about 1.5 hours. Then we were last in a bus and of course the worst seats are left for those who are last in. Ferry was fine but that is no surprise. It is good to call once you are on the pickup spot. Just to make sure all is well.

Advertised arrival time was never planned to make. It was obvious, that this was just said to lure people to book with this company. Luckily we didn’t book a pick-up at the pier in advance, it would have waited for over an hour… The mini van was really small, so we feeled like sardines in a can on that 4 hour drive. „Luxury mini van“ is definety something else!

When booking it says pick up but once you confirm then you may be told you won't be collected from your hotel and you have to make your own way to another hotel. This happened to me. Then they picked up from the hotel opposite mine. Which meant I wasted money and time. This was stressful.

Hotel Transfer was paid for but did not happen. Had to walk 20min to a 7/11 with all the luggage even though it was only a 3 min drive away. We were told about that only the late night before. Van was completely full and quite tight in space. The bus was better but we were never really told were to go at transfers so there was quite a bit of confusion the whole time.

Everything was as expected we didn’t get the hotel pick up we were promised as it was out of the pick up area so beware, if I hadn’t checked my emails the night before we would of missed the driver. A few passengers reported the same issue. We were collected and transported to the ferry with 2 stops for toilet and food break. Driver advised where to go to collect tickets. It was a long day 12 hrs in total door to door but not as bad as expected
