Easy way to buy. Trip was without problem. Slightly late on arrival to the final destination.

The ferry was simple. No luxury at all. There were bunk beds, double beds, and some mattresses on the floor between the bunks. I believe it’s possible to choose which one you want if you check in early. After we arrived, things got a bit confusing. There was supposed to be a van waiting for us, as mentioned on the ticket. We waited for 40 minutes, and in the end, a car took us to a bus stop, and then a bus took us to the airport. And they never really explain anything — they just keep taking you places, and you figure things out along the way. But since we had already used transportation like this all around Thailand, we knew it could be confusing and delayed, so we always planned everything with extra time in case something went wrong. In the end, everything worked out, and we arrived at our destination, which is what matters most.

Very good expérience in the sleeper boat, we were well installed so the night was nice. The trip to the airport was more hasardous, don’t be too short on time!

On time and seamless travel experience. Not as comfortable as the bigger ferry, but you get there quicker so it’s a trade off.

The organization of the speedy boat was not that great like the express ferry. Please remember to take medication for sea sick. The ride can be really jumpy.
