Koh Phangan to Krabi Destination Reviews

DS
Decent service. Van wasn’t a bus as expected, but a tiny van which was very hot and cramped. We stopped a half hour in for a service break before continuing the 3 hour drive to Krabi. Boat service great!

The Ferry was great and well organized, but the bus ride took a long time. After the Ferry arrived we had to wait almost two hours before our bus could depart (waiting for other ferries to arrive). The bus did one stop after half an hour driving and then 3 hours without any stops.

Quite on time. After arriving with the ferry we had to wait an hour until we could board the bus, 20 minutes after we started there was a twenty minute food stop, which nobody really needed. All in all the trip was comfy if a little too long. We were 45-50 minutes behind schedule - not because of traffic but unnecessary breaks. Bus journey wasn’t a mini van but a bus, which stopped very central in Krabi Town.

The bus did not drop us off at the terminal saying that it was closed, which was not true! We had to pay for a cab when it was not what was agreed.

The crossing on the ship was very pleasant. I often struggled with seasickness, which was no problem at all on this ship. Bus transfer also very well organized and everything on schedule.

The ride with the ferry was on time and comfortable. However, the bus from the pier to Krabi didn't stop at the Krabi bus terminal (as expected), but somewhere else in town where there were a lot of pushy taxi drivers offering to bring people to their hotels. All in all an ok experience, but it would be great to be dropped at the place written on the booking confirmation.

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.
