We had to change vehicles 4 times, no one told us anything, everyone just shouted. The van was completely full because some people had too much luggage that blocked a seat and I had to sit in the front where there was no real seat, there was no seatbelt, no head rest and my head almost hit the ceiling. The driver went way too fast and was constantly on his phone texting or watching videos. After contacting the support team they just told me they were sorry for my unpleasant experience.

All in all ok. But it is very frustrating that there is no information upfront where and when you do a bus change or how much time you have until the next bus arrives. You only know that you trip will involve a ferry and a bus...

Get to the boat about a hour early if you want any choice of bed!! Ferry was cramped with small thin ‘gym mat’ mattresses - probably about a metre space across per person. Also the girls next to me were top and tailing because they couldn’t find enough beds each, would have been useful to have a designated bed each because it was definitely cramped where I was. However experience was fine for what I paid and the crossing was smooth and it was an easy checkin.

We needed to pay another 600 Bath for our luggage. The ferry from Koh Phangan to the mainland was very old and the seats disgusting. The minivan was so loaded that one became really claustrophobic. The suitcases and backpacks were stuffed between the seats. At first you thought that this is only for 1 hour until we had to change and you could already endure it, then it was the same game in the next van. In addition, it was then said at the connecting bus that there was no room for our luggage, although we had even paid extra. We then had to wait 1.5 hours for the next bus. This was again completely crammed, so that one really could not move at all. 2 of us sat on emergency seats, which had squeaked the whole time and had to hold the luggage. An unreasonable demand.

The organization was good.the ferry was fine.we changed van in krabi and the last driver besides driving recklessly did not let us go down to the toilet .and had us inside the van locked up while we crossed with the ferry and the bass smoking.

We buy transfer from Koh Phangan to Koh Lanta. 7:00-15:30. We came at 17:30, we wait one hour in Krabí for no reason to wait for the slowest minibus driver ever.
