Krabi to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

On time and bang on schedule. Can’t fault the service to be honest. Bus is a bit dated but for the price you can’t Complain really.

It wasn’t ideal to have to pay an extra 200TBH for my suitcase being a bit bigger than 22 inches. That felt like a rip off as there was plenty of room on the bus for my suitcase as it goes under the bus. Not great at all!

The driver picked us up from our hotel in Ao nang, came even few minutes earlier, the we transfered to the Krabi town station, caught the ferry to Koh Samui on time and had a direct transfer to hotel on Chaweng beach. Overall punctual and comfortable experience.

All of your belongings combined should weigh less than 20kg and not just your big luggage. That wasn't that clear from the description and so i was charged for overweight. Besides, the shuttle was late to pick me from the hotel and when we arrived at the office, they were in a rush and stress me to do everything quickly. Almost lost my phone and wallet because of that.

Overall it was an average journey. Driver took me the hotel on time. We came to their office. Changed vehicle. We went 2 mins wait there around half hour and took sone passengers then went back to office again. Waiting there again 20-15 mins and journey started. We reached the Koh Samui 1 hour delay because of the unorganised beginning. Van was ok. Driver was nice and friendly.

Booked a van + ferry because it‘s usually the most comfortable and easiest way. Not with this one tho. We got picked up by a van and drove 20 minutes, than we had to get on a bus and wait for half an hour, than we had to get on the ferry and on Koh Samui get on another van. All in all we had to switch vehicles with our luggage way more often than we thought and it wasn‘t as smooth as expected.
