Koh Lanta to Phuket Airport Destination Reviews

Confusing, multi-change travel without clear instructions. Nearly passed out in the heat of the uncooled van.

Translation: It was a mass transport. No service, the staff didn’t speak to us and left the fight over seats to the passengers. Of course they can’t do anything about the sea and the waves—we were all soaking wet—but there was nothing to hold on to. There were tears, people were throwing up (they could have handed out bags), parents with children should have been warned that it would be genuinely frightening. For the price, the guys really didn’t make any effort. In the end, you were just glad to have survived.

Efficient booking and nice ferry. Not too crowded and had toilets and snack bar. Only suggestion is to have better communication when we had to swap boats as that was confusing.

I booked the Truck/ferry transfer from Koh Lanta to Phuket. The ticket we bought picks you up from your hotel in Koh Lanta and drops you at your hotel in Kata. In the end we got there but the communication was very poor with this company. I booked with another company for another transfer and they Whatsapped me throughout to keep me updated, but this company did not contact me at all. I had to google their company and find a contact number and had to call to confirm that someone was coming to pick us up. The driver finally came 20 minutes later than booked. They pick you up in a truck and your luggage either goes on the top or behind the drivers seat. We had 1 piece suitcase and a 1 carry-on luggage each, which was fine. The driver then drops you to Koh Lanta pier and it’s compete and total chaos there. Everyone’s shouting at you, gives you a sticker, doesn’t explain anything and your totally confused. We booked an 11.30am pick up from our hotel but the ferry didn’t actually depart until 1pm and I think it only departs a few times a day so an early transfer may be a waste of time. When we got to the ferry we had to transfer at Phi Phi mid ocean! Then you get out on a bigger ferry which takes you to Phuket. When you the go Phuket again, it’s completely chaotic and confusing as you have to try and find your driver. They could tell you to go to driver “11” but in our case there were 2 driver “11”s so it was confusing. All in all you’ll get from point A to B but it’s not a smooth ride and it can be very chaotic and confusing.

I told them twice (one time was the night before) that my pick up location had changed, they still went to the wrong pick up location. However, even though this happened the ferry was held for us and the rest of the journey was fine

Pick up was one hour too late, different vans an busses, drop of point was the wrong place. I have booked a station near my hotel to save money. But the last bus didn’t go there. I needed another taxi to hotel.
