Driver was very erratic and on his phone watching TikTok’s a lot. The bus was packed full of bags - a lot of people not paying attention to the rule of one big and one smaller bag. The driver was also late and not really clear on whether we were on the right bus, he also didn’t check tickets.

Great minibus service! The driver was on time, and we even left early, allowing us to arrive quickly at our destination. He dropped us off right in front of the hotel without any issues. The driving style is typically Thai—slightly dynamic but nothing concerning. Overall, very good service!

Travelled from Khao Lak to Ao Nang. The trip was all good. We had to switch vans at one point. We had 2 toilet stops on the way.
It wasn’t very clear from pdf where the pick up point was, we contacted support and they clarified the details quickly (in 1 hour)

Driver was one hour late because he forgot me at my pick up point so he has to come back from where he were…

You can be glad that you have arrived at your destination.
The voucher says pick-up at 9.20 am.
Then it says +/- 30 minutes.
So we waited in the lobby from 8.50 am.
Around 10.15 there was still no one there.
We called and were only told to wait. After a short background music, they hung up.
Around 11.15 there was still no one there. So we called the reception. The answer was that they were already there and we should wait.
The car arrived shortly before 12. So we waited three hours.... !
The driver takes people to the bus station in Krabi and then pays in cash if you want to continue to the hotel.

Man kann froh sein, dass man am Ziel angekommen ist.
Auf dem Voucher steht Abholung 9.20 Uhr.
Dann steht +/- 30 Minuten.
Somit warteten wir ab 8.50 Uhr in der Lobby.
Gegen 10.15 war immer noch keiner da.
Wir riefen an, dann kam nur als Auskunft, wir sollen warten. Nach kurzer Musik im Hintergrund wurde aufgelegt.
Gegen 11.15 war immer noch keiner da. So ließen wir von der Rezeption anrufen. Als Antwort kam, dass sie bereits im Ort sind und wir warten sollen.
Kurz vor 12 war das Auto da. Somit drei Stunden gewartet…. !
Fahrer bringt die Leute nach Krabi zum Busbahnhof und kassier dann in Cash ab, wenn man zum Hotel weiter möchte.

The driver forgot about us. After several unsuccessful calls, the secretary said her brother would pick us up, but she didn't know what time. After 1h30 he arrived and dropped us off. We waited another 20 minutes. Then we got a driver in a hurry.

Le chauffeur nous a oublié. Aprés plusieurs appels non aboutis la secrétaire a repondu que son frère viendrait nous chercher mais elle ne savait pas à quelle heure. Au bout d'1h30 il est arrivé nous a déposé dans un endroit. Nous avons encore attendu 20 minutes. Et Aprés nous avons eu un chauffeur très pressé.

The departure was 1 hour later than booked. Rather an old van. The driver was super friendly, was driving quite risky though.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
