Koh Samui to Krabi Destination Reviews

In general the transport was okay but it was a bit difficult to understand the way to connect to the bus after the ferry . And when I went to take the bus they took an upcharge of 200 baths even though I told them my ticket had one luggage under 20 kg and one Cary on . Our bus had a air conditioner problem and they swiftly change us to another bus in less than 20 mn so they are very reactive and the route was nice especially like the service provided but yeah the feeling that I got scammed stings a little

Extremely well organised, very smooth trip, could do with more staff on counter, access to WIFI would be helpful for those whose phones are not in roaming mode as this delayed process with showing documentation.

Ferry departed a bit late, but we made up time and arrived maybe 10 min late. Between ferry and bus, there was enough time to buy water, use toilet and smoke a cigarette. Staff was guiding us well to correct buses. Double decker bus was clean and very comfy.

This provider goes from two piers. We went to the wrong pier. The providers weren’t very helpful with the advise. We missed our ferry from the actual rest

The driver decided to want to charge us 600 baht for our cases which we had no choice in paying The van was uncomfortable with no legroom , my wife is 61 and has bad hip, even so the driver put us in the front row of seats with little foot space let alone legroom Big fuss made by the company that there was massive traffic jams to our hotel due to the festival and wanted to drop off at a supermarket some 1 hour walk away. Which wasn’t acceptable to me, in the end after some pressure they took us to the hotel. NO traffic jams. IMO driver was rather rude

Up until the ferry everything went smooth. But then the lady of the minivan looked at my ticket scanned it and all seemed to be ok. Until we went to Ao Nang and I was suppose to go to Krabi. The lady was just as surprised as me, but no apology whatsoever. I asked her if she then can drop me at my hotel, since I was the only one left and to safe a bit of time (delay would be over 1,5h). But she then started lying and said this was suppose to be the route all along. If everything would have went well, rating would have been good of course. But im that single case probably ;)

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.
