Krabi Airport to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

Traci D

Driver was pleasant and knew where to go. The only issue was playing western music with many expletives. My young daughters were in the car with me, and the music felt very inappropriate. I don't think the driver was aware of the content of the music.

Departure delayed for 40min without explanation from the driver, until he receives a parcel. The driver made unexpected stops and didn't choose the short itinerary.

Great service. It's worth the money. No long waitings and great space in the car.

It wasn’t very clear where to go, because the ticket said gate 15 in terminal 3, but it’s in terminal 2. The coordinates also show the wrong place. In the end we figured just to wait at gate 15, and that was correct. The driver got there on time, the transfer went very smooth, within less than 2 hours we were at our Hotel in Koh Lanta. Traveling as a couple, this option was a third of the price of a private transfer, and it takes the same amount of time. Can definitely recommend using this transfer.

Poor experience overall, we booked a taxi, ( so we thought we’d have a private car or something all to ourselves) however a mini bus pulled up that was full of people, the only seat left were 2 right at the back of the bus. It was incredibly cramped and the roof caved in in the corner meaning my boyfriend being over 6foot was constantly banging his head, to make matters worse we were completely surrounded by other people’s bags, to the point if there was an emergency we wouldn’t of been able to get out, the bags were not only piled up to the roof next to us but were also stacked down the isle, when we got to the pier and on to the ferry most people got off the bus to go to the toilet or stretch their legs, however we were completely trapped in our seat due to all the bags and the driver didn’t offer any help to let us off. When we got to our destination it was actually easier to get out the back door climbing over the bags than it was to get out by walking down the aisle). The driver didn’t seem to know where he was going when it came to dropping people off at hotels as he kept going the wrong way and then making u-turns to the point people were getting in the front seat to give him direction. I’m sure for everyone else on the bus ( not completely trapped in by bags) the 2 and a half hour journey was tolerable but not for us.

The journey to Koh Lanta was very good. We were in a van with several people and several bags. The driver played Tetris with the bags and somehow we fit it all inside of the van. One thing is recommended to change the location shown in the PDF voucher from one to go Asia and the pick up location is only partly correct. The location shown in the PDF voucher is wrong. The picture of the door or exit 15 is correct here I submit you the correct GPS data from Google maps with the correct location for the transfer pick up point.

Couldn't be more grateful. The driver and operator showed an amazing deal of flexibility and helpfulness when it would have been understandable not to. Everything else was smooth, punctual and without any headaches, too. Thank you so much.

It was not enough space for the passengers luggage so the bus got very crowded. The driver stopped and made several errands during the ride. Overall it was okay.
