Koh Phangan to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

I'd previously booked with Lomprayah and it was amazing, the bus was great and spacious plus the process of finding the bus, getting tickets etc was so smooth but this was horrible. when you get off the ferry (which was fine) you have no direction at all where to get the van. At the bus stop I had to ask 3 people (it doesn't say on the 12go pdf) and I was just told to contact the driver from my pdf ticket but there was no information regarding this given. Then you're vaguely directed towards a waiting area but if I didn't walk further than what I was told I would've missed the van because there's no signs just lines of drivers. Then our driver sat there for 40 minutes with all of us in the van before he drove off and made like 3 breaks so we were over 1 1/2 hours late

Everything was perfect! The ferry was big and spacious and the van was new, clean and the driver was very nice. We arrived a bit later, but that was not a problem for us.

When I came to the pier the buss left whitout me, everyone told me to wait at one spot and then no one showed up, went to the information desk and they called the company snd said they already left. And I was waiting there the whole time. Had to book a new buss and wait for a really long time. It was not nice at all.

We booked because it said minivan. Of course depending on bookings. It was a big bus full, we picked up people in both ferry ports, waited about an hour until bus was filled up. Soon after we left bus stopped at petrol Station saying half hour free time. So do shopping... .024420141548E+34; Instead of 5.10 we arrived at 7.10pm. No good, don't recommend

The ferry ride was ok, the rest of it was not. The organisation was terrible, we didn’t know where to go when the ferry arrived. When we finally found the van and everybody was inside we stopped after driving for 2 minutes. We didn’t continue the ride for like half an hour. The driver just left the van without a comment. After we finally continued we stopped for a break after just 20 minutes??? While driving, the driver was constantly on his phone, either checking messages or calling someone. We arrived over an hour late, for no real reason.

Very very difficult to find the driver and the shuttle, no indication at all ! The driver as kind as he was, seemed to have difficulties to know what to do to drive the guests to the right places

We caught the ferry to donsak pier , we waited for our connecting mini bus to ao nang Krabi for over an hour, no one with our operator was there to meet us in all that time so we had to pay for a private taxi to take us to Krabi which cost over 3,200 baht so very disappointed with the service provided by 1-2GO.

Do expect delays or trip cancellations if the weather is stormy or your travel falls on off-season or shoulder season.

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.
