Good experience however very confusing. In phi phi I was asked to leave my bag and told it will be taken care of- only for the bag to then me left behind until I noticed. I was told to bring it myself despite the previous assurance I’m supposed to pick it up in krabi. If I didn’t pay attention my bag would be left behind and lost in phi phi

We left in time, got help and information about where to go at the pier. In Krabi they drove us to our hostel. Not crowded, but also we went in low season so its hard to tell.

You gave me the wrong number. I sent the driver a message but he did not answer. We had to look for him at the pier

Super smooth journey throughout. We went from Phi Phi to Krabi. You head to the tent on the pier and tell them where you’re headed, and let them scan your QR code. You write down your name(s) and they’ll tell you which boat to get on. On the boat, they’ll ask if you have a car transfer ready at the pier, if not, you can book separately with them at what seems like a pretty reasonable price (but we already had a transfer with this service). The boat takes you to Klong Jilad Pier and when you exit the pier, with the clear signs telling you where to go. Once you reach the Pier’s entrance, there will be a guy standing there with your names on a piece of paper and he takes you to your transfer destination. Boat ride was smooth and had snacks onboard that you probably have to pay for. The boat ride was about 2 hours and took off on time. Would book again if I’m back in Thailand!
