The only suggestion would be to use a noise deflector from the motors. Good trip though and glad I didn’t go on a ferry instead.

on the stop at ko phi phi you are forced to pay an entrance fee... classic tourist rip off.

Boarding in Phuket went well, changing to the next ferry was crap. Two hours of standing room, right in front of the engine compartment.

Excellent. The driver contacted me on messenger to unsure the hotel adress is right and told me the exact pick-up time. He drove safely, showed us the “check-in desk” at the pier. At the pier everybody was smiling and explained everything. They run across the pier to be sure nobody will miss departure. Speed boat was comfortable and fast. We arrived 1 hour 30
