Our trip did not go to Klong Hia Pier, but to Chong Lard Pier. We had organized a pick-up that waited for us at the wrong pier. The whole thing cost us 30 minutes and stress.

I recently tried this speedboat adventure, and it was super cool! The best part was how the boat was always on time, making the whole trip smooth and stress-free. The staff was really nice too—friendly and helpful, making sure everyone felt comfortable. What made it even better was the coffee bar on the boat. They had free coffee and snacks, which was a nice surprise. Sipping coffee and enjoying the ride with such a great view made the whole experience feel fancy and fun. I totally recommend this speedboat ride for anyone who wants a mix of excitement, friendliness, and a bit of luxury. It's a five-star adventure for sure!

Exceptional service! The abundance of complimentary snacks and drinks both at the check-in point and on the speedboat added a delightful touch to the experience. The strategic pier location, conveniently close to Phuket town, not only enhances accessibility but also significantly reduces travel time to and from the pier. A perfect blend of convenience and indulgence! Keep it up!
