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.
