The boat travel was fine but from Pakbara pier I had to wait 3 hours for a van to take me the rest of the way.

We managed to reschedule our ticket for the next day due to a fellow traveler's illness, no problems at all. Great people.

The journey started fine. Check in was easily done at Koh Lipe pier. Upon arrival at Pak Bara, representative holding name plate was already waiting at the pier to guide guest to the waiting van. In no time the van departed Pak Bara. All the way smooth until arrival at Krabi Town. I was asked to change to a public transport truck for the remaining journey. This is truly unacceptable and there is no indication from the info given to me that I will be taking a public transport at a later stage. I was not drop off at my hotel as indicated in my ticket info. I guess the van driver simply do not wish to drive me alone to Ao Nang. Though the van driver already told me that the public transport has been paid, yet the truck driver tried to ask for the fare.in a very subtle way. My experience with 12Go has been very positive until now. This is a true let down.

The speedboat was excellent! The minibus was on time, but unfortunately the driver was not helpful and grumpy But we got to our destination in pretty good time. Otherwise would have been an excellent rating!

Bus journey was fine but arrived an hour later than we were supposed to. The speedboat trip was horrendous the driver went far too fast for conditions. Slamming into the waves like a game. Luggage was dislodged and rolling about. He drove like a madman with no consideration for the comfort of his passengers. It was so bad luckily someone swapped seats with me as I suffer with back pain and this trip nearly did me some serious damage. Both my husband and I have suffered with pains for two days following this journey.

Smooth check-in and boarding, nice boat. First you go from Lipe to PakBara by boat (1-1.5h). In PakBara bus will wait for you to drive to Krabi. Minibus is not Mercedes Benz, but comfortable enough for a 4h drive. You’ll have a 20mins stop in a shop with cafe to have a quick lunch break. Rice is okay, soups and juice I do not recommend. Then in Krabi we change the bus to final one which drove us to the hotel in Ao Nang. Overall it was a good trip for 1k baht.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
