Note: Van Shuttle for is the name of the operator, you're only paying for the boat from Ao Nam Mao. We didn't realize this while booking. Other than that, the long tail boat was on time, friendly driver and staff. Quick and easy ride. It's also nice to dock into a floating pier so you don't have to get wet. That being said, you can just buy a ticket from the ticket counter at the pier for half the price.

There are two piers at Ao Num Mao. The pdf should show that. The price we paid was double the price you pay when you buy a ticket at the pier. A bit more expensive is ok but not double...
