Krabi Sea Pearl

We haven been more then one our later. We had 2 very long breaks. One with a transfer and bus change in Krabi Town from 11 - 11:30 o’clock an then at the harbour from 11:50-12:00 o’clock. The second driver drove like shit, very dangerous even when there where kids on board. Only a second star because he drove us to the accomodation

The mini pickup van driver and the service was very good but the transfer to bus from Krabi Bus terminal was not a nice experience. Even though I informed the conductor or helper that I have back pain and would like to sit in the front or middle as they were vacant. He still gave me the last seat in the bus which was broken even though there were enough seats in the front end (I do have a video of the broken seat and front rows seats available to share). He also asked the Thai lady (even though I am a girl myself) sitting beside me to sit in the front row - felt like discrimination. I heard that Indians are not treated well in many countries and that can be because of few people who might have created issues in the past but not everyone is the same. Don’t have to treat a person a certain way unless you found them in a misconducting behaviour. They are good and bad people in every place - plz don’t stereotyping and discriminating 🙏 India is a very respectable country. Rather than judging few things on social media. Do visit our country to experience our hospitality. We treat every guest as gods literally as that our belief system & give huge respect to everyone. This is my first Asian country that I visited but I’m disappointed that I might not come back to this country again as I have faced discrimination at most places in Thailand and it has created a fear of travel to any other Asian country being an Indian. I am not saying every one in Thailand is like that. I had some amazing and lovely Thai locals who were so caring, guided me so well and took care of me and I’m grateful & thankful to them.

Driver was very aggressive, yelling at us inThai immediately on pickup (we only speak english so no idea what he was saying to us), and was very handsy with the girls. Touching legs, backs, even picked one girl up to put her in the front seat with him. He also dropped us off in the middle of the street for us to walk to our stay. It was very uncomfortable.

Koh Lanta > Koh Phangan. First a minivan to Krabi town. Switch to another minivan to the pier. Then boat to Koh Phangan. Both drivers were chill and drove relax. We had plenty of time to chill before the boat.

Non professional, one of the workers yelled at me because the sit wasn’t reclining back, I didn’t feel safe.

The ferry perfect, but the van driver was always speeding without reason and was raining a lot. We arrived 30 minutes earlier but everybody afraid of how he drive

It was good overall. Efficient and Nana were roomy

The ferry from Surat Thani to Koh Tao was not comfortable, air conditioning didn’t really work and the ferry was very full and running late. The rest of the trip was good though.

On time, nice driver, not a lot of space in the van but overall good.

Everything went as planned

we have just been driven to khao lak by one of your drivers. he drove aggressively and was very unserviceable. overcharged to drive us the last few miles to the hotel. i can in no way recommend such a bad driver

I felt like this was a scam! They told us we will go from Ao Nang, Ao Nam Mao pier but we didn t! They drove us to Klong Jirad Pier in Krabi. On the site it wrote that we will leave at 9:50, we arrived there at 9:45 running to make sure we catch the ferry and guess what? It left at 10:30, liars! We did not even think we have time to bring some water with us. Shameful!

Well pick up me a van transfer to the bus terminal, I thing it was all trayecto in a van, I have to wait for an hour to get to the bus to Phuket, it's confortable.

The driver arrived punctually at the agreed meeting point. The driver was very friendly, drove considerately and very safely; we felt very comfortable.

Our ride from krabi town to khao Sok town was clean and well done. Driver was on time, there was a lot of room for us and we were able to put our big bags in the trunk. We stopped for snacks and food. The drive was also shorter than expected and in just two hours we arrived at our accommodation. have nothing to complain about.

The journey was fine, but it would have been appropriate to state the true connection time. The journey was supposed to take 4 hours, but even if the break for the toilet had been skipped after 2 hours of driving, it would not have been possible to make it. In the end, the journey took more than 5 hours and since I had a follow-up plan, it was not a pleasant delay. Furthermore, the connection was supposed to be provided by a VAN and in the end it was a smaller bus, which would have been fine, but the seats were very narrow and sitting in a twisted position for such a long journey was challenging. And I am a slim man weighing 75 kg.

Horrible experience, there was no mini van or mini bus . It was a shared tuktuk transfer to the bus stop and then a bus takes you to phuket. The bus stopped multiple times and I reached after 4.5 hours. I was picked up at 9 and dropped at 1:40pm

Driver was very friendly, allowed us a toilet and food stop. Only downside was the van was tiny and luggage

The experience was alright. Bus was on time and made a stop for snacks and restroom. it was just SO HOT and I was practically dripping with sweat, also the seats were rock hard. If you don’t care about the comfort then it’s an easy cheap choice

Good service, they were very punctual, the van was comfortable and had just right amount of AC. The drop off point is NOT at the end of village but at the beginning. You will be proposed 100/200 bht per person to reach your resort and either you walk or pay more. Due to… unofficial taxi association you also cannot take grab (which would be around 70-80 bht per car) and if you order it the driver will write on the chat to cancel it as they can’t pick you up.

Smooth from start to finish

The minivan is comfortable, even though the first one didn't have place for backpacks, so if you are in the back it's hard to breath. Anyways, I think it is more expensive than other travel options. But, it was on time

Transfer from Koh Lanta to Khao Sok. The original pick-up from our hotel was around one hour late, which was reasonable as the van has to pick-up every guest on their respective hotel. It is possible to call if you want to confirm the arrival because otherwise there was not much communication before the driver came. Our van had multiple okay seats and two bad seats (double seat) which could be a bit tight if you are large or need to share with a stranger. Van change in Krabi and then a 20 minute stop before the last drive to Khao Sok. Drop off at the Van station but it is possible to buy hotel drop off for extra (around 100 bhat pp for a 15 min drive). If you want to take Grab: the local taxi drivers dislike the external Grab drivers so it is kinda unsafe for them.

Picked up late Arrived late If you want to go Krabi to Surat Thani. Just buy from the bus staion and go there yourself

It's really a good idea to show up a bit in advance and que up for the ride so that you are sure that your luggage will fit in the vehicle Other than that it was very good

Booked 1.30 to 4.30pm with Sea Pearl as it was quicker than Phi Phi cruiser option but more expensive. However, I was put on the Phi Phi Cruiser which then left 45 minutes late and required ferry change at Phi Phi. I did not arrive until 6pm.

The bus arrived at time. The driver was driving very close behind other cars. The bus was totaly loaded. From Seatrans the bus was totaly overloaded. Not any space left. Luggage between the seats and not any space for the legs. Never had such bad transport. At the boot you had to carry your luggage to the second floor. Never again this transport

Acceptable delay and wait time in Krabi. Arrived almost on time in the end! A bit weird that the driver offered to drive us to our hotels for some extra baht which did not seem to match the local prices.

1 hour of waiting between 2 busses.

We had no information about the meeting point,so we were waiting for our van for one hour. If i not call them we are still waiting... The car was crowded and no place for luggages.

We had to change the minivan. That wasn’t mentioned. But the trip was good at all.

The trip is 100 Baht more expensive then the others, says it includes the van and takes 45 minutes. It does not include the van and takes 2hours. It seems different operators are overpromising and not delivering just to win clients. No support after the purchase. We still got to the destination without problems but I hate being scammed even for such small amounts. We also had additional stress looking for transport to pier in the very morning.

Very seamless

Everything was on time. Only 3 stars because 1. the van was packed with way to much luggage - our kids (3/5) sat on the backseat and the luggage was stapled to the roof directly besides them, that we where scared all the time that it might can fall down on them. 2. the driver has been on the smartphone several times...

It was alright. The inside part has A/C on, but not very confortable and the departure was not on time

It was ok. De time of departure on the ticket was 11:00, it says that the transfer can be 30 minutes earlier of later. The first transfer was at out meeting point at 10:30 at AO nang, that was good until they dropped us with a lot of other people at another terminal (10 minutes ride) where we needed to wait till 11:50. Finally we left at 11:50 to khao lak, tge drive was fast, we arrived at 14:30, the driver was not friendly,

Support perfekt and Transfer Great.

It was ok- we started 10 min later but were only 10 min late. Driver was speaking on the phone while driving with one hand, so it was not safe.

Very chaotic with many car/bus changes. Bus driver was not able to explain schedule & procedure.

On time and a great trip

Easy pickup and drop off

The speedboat transfer went very smoothly – everything was well organized, and we were very satisfied. However, the horror began when we got into the van in Krabi. The driver was extremely reckless and careless. He repeatedly filmed out of the window while driving, not paying attention to the road at all. He was also tailgating trucks at around 100 km/h with barely one meter of distance. We were several guests in the van, and everyone was panicking and clearly shocked by his driving behavior. Please urgently check this driver, as this kind of driving puts all passengers at serious risk.

There was not much leg room with everyone’s luggage.

A/C was not really on in the Van and the driver drove very fast, but he was very punctual

Running late because waiting for passengers. Changing the boats and afterwards poring rain got all the luggage wet which was just stacked outside…

Good service and good vehicle, only one noticeable thing that they have pick up all the passenger and gathered at one place, than they have transferred them to new minivan as per destination area of phuket.

Hatten eine reibungslose ca 5 stündige Fahrt mit dem Minivan von Aonang nach Khao Sok. Der Van kam mit 15 minütiger Verzögerung am Abholort an , was natürlich total im Rahmen war und hat eine kleine Pause am 7-Eleven eingerichtet so dass sich alle nochmal versorgen könnten.

Not in Time, No Information.

I took a trip from Krabi to Khao Lak. Overall it went well and we arrived, but you should know that there is no certainty after purchasing. They won't tell you when they pick you up from the hotel, but they give you a time frame of an hour. After the trip starts, it turns out that they put you in some terminal from where they distribute the passengers to all the stations, and there we waited for about half an hour. From there we got on a van that went to Phuket, so he dropped us off on the way so we could get on another van to Khao Lak. We waited another 20 minutes before we finally got on the van that took us to Khao Lak. Two more things: 1. The app lists arrival at 2:00 PM and we arrived at 3:00 PM. 2. There was another couple with us who had to get to Khao Sok and they went all the way with us and only went from Khao Lak to Khao Sok. It added a lot of unnecessary travel for them. There is no point in nagging them like that, except to save money.

Everything went smoothly.
