Krabi to Surat Thani Town Destination Reviews

I used the services of a minibus on the Krabi-Suratthani route. I bought a ticket blindly on the internet. There were no reviews for this service. I didn't know exactly where to get on the bus, and the only way to contact the agency was through their hotline. However, the bus arrived at the time, albeit with a 15-20 minute delay, and the driver approached us. We spent some time picking up other passengers in the city, and then we quickly and safely reached our destination.

All in all, it was a good experience. But this Bus has not many legroom. I have long legs and this is why it was quite uncomfortable... but it's okay and good value for the money.

Generally, it was good. The AC in the car was clearly at its limit though. But fair enough, was a very hot day. Also the driver started to drive kind of unresponsibly fast/adventerous at some point. Also, I booked the extra luggage seat as advised in the description but it was a waste of money. The car had more than enough space. And also all seats were in use by other people. So they just silently took my extra money and also booked someone else on the same seat, as well.
