Koh Yao Yai to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

12Go was not able to provide me with the paid traintickets from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng, Lao PDR. 12Go insisted to trust them and that they can organize the tickets. Even 5h before the train Departure they did not agree that they are not able to provide. I booked premium service but even then they did not help or make a clear statement. Very bad experience for all of my family. Very dishonest from 12Go, letting us wait and not providing us the tickets until it was too late.

The boat arrived around 15 minutes after the departure time. We did not get any information about that. We also stopped at another island to pick up people, which we also didn’t know about. We were supposed to be at Krabi at 15.20 but didn’t arrive until 15.50.

The organisation at the pier in Koh Yao Yai and later at the pier in Ao Nang was really good. Everything was in time, they gave us water on the speedboat and the hotel transfer was good organized as well. The staff was friendly.
