Seats could be more comfortable but we're in Thailand... Probably there are higher price bus transfers but you get what you paid 😁

The experience exceeded my expectations, particularly given the absence of my time constraint. However, as noted in the reviews, the van was delayed, and the transportation duration exceeds the website’s quoted estimate. Therefore, it is advisable to plan accordingly if you have a specific time requirement.

We took spacious and pleasantly air-conditioned bus, incl. 2 refreshment breaks, but as one may expect, bus speed limit is lower than minivan and the journey to the ferry took one hour longer. Anyone who order the service should have realistic expectation on arrival time (around 16 at Koh Chang)

In pictures you said there will be high speed catamaran. Nope. Normal ferry. Don't put fancy pictures to your app if it is something else. I think it is Boonsiri company to blame. I don't know.
