Koh Phangan to Krabi Destination Reviews

I was prepared that trip could take longer than in the ticket, but actually we arrived 20 minutes early. Another pleasant surprise was that there was time between ferry and bus (at Donsak Seatran ferry port) to have a breakfast and relax. Bus wasn’t shiny new, but considering the total cost of the trip, very satisfying

It was very good. We found very easily the ticket combination ferry+bus from Phangan to Krabi Town in the website. The pdf tickets arrived very fast. The ferry was on time and it has a mini mart inside which is great. Then, the bus was also on time. We’ll use 12go again for sure.

Bus was rather clean, but very old and equipment was below par. Especially the WiFi connection which was not working for quite some time (missing 5Go coerage)

Ticket was for the Raja vehicle ferry, boarding was a bit confusing but plenty of seating upstairs, you need to be fine carrying own bags. Van transfer to Krabi was clean, comfy and easy!

The van which was very warm inside and with uncomfortable sweats didn’t go until Patong beach, it left me to Pucket bus station and from there they show me to take a bus. An employer in the bus propably because he understood the mistake asked me which is my hotel in Lating beach and he told me they are going to let me close to the hotel . Finally the bus driver left me from the other side of the city that was the last stop and he didn’t know English at all to communicate

Overall it worked and on time but the inbetween parts of where to be and where not to be are entirely up to staff being present and telling you where to go which always makes me a bit uneasy. Bus was also fairly warm and full but not the worst.

Everything was on time; however, the bus was a bit too small for the number of passengers.
