Koh Tao to Krabi Destination Reviews

Woman in port at Koh Tao shouting directions with so very many people there…nowhere to sit.. two lines 1 and 2 …people confused… being English when I asked her if it was the correct place for krabi and my son and partner were going to Koh Samui she said “yes “ but not which line…I asked her later again when she was free and she shouted “on your ticket there’s a number..look at it!”…there was only a destination stating krabi no number. We could see no one else going to Krabi so were worried. When it got even later I approached her again as did others still confused…she started shouting at me in front of everyone telling me she’d told me 4 times!!! I asked her not to shout at me..there was no number and I did not understand…she continued to screech at me in front of all the crowds telling me @read the ticket” and getting really angry. She was condescending and rude and intimidating and I would not recommend or go there again. I have a heart condition and should not get stressed but had no choice. I am a midwife in the NHS and in 20yrs in life and death situations and public facing 24 /7 with multiple nationalities I would never ever speak to someone like that…I would lose my job. I hope someone reprimands her as it was very very unprofessional…unhelpful and intimidating for anyone that did not understand the language and the number she kept saying was on the tickets did not exist as someone else had asked the same thing. Disgusting experience. ( previously our journey Koh Tao had been good). A younger girl on the ferry in her 20’s who spoke some English was helpful and pleasant…totally different. I hope you follow this up and don’t just assume it was an English person who was unintelligent!

The route wasn't explained: type of boat, duration of the crossing, and type of bus. We waited a long time in an old bus for another boat to arrive, without anyone offering us any assistance, and people who arrived much later left before us in more comfortable conditions. As a result, we had difficulty getting a connection for the rest of the journey.

The ferry from Koh Tao to Surat Thani was great! However the Minivan from Pattana Tours at Surat Thani was congested and they fit in more passengers than seats making the ride uncomfortable for all. Pros: On time Cons: More Passengers than could have been accommodated in the Minivan

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.
