Koh Lanta to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

Reckless driving from start to finish. Despite asking multiple times to slow down, the driver kept accelerating like a maniac and slamming the brakes just inches from cars and pedestrians. I have never been so scared for my life. I’ve taken many forms of transport across Asia and never experienced anything remotely this irresponsible or dangerous. On top of that, he arrived half an hour late, which eventually turned into a full hour of delay. Completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional.

Meh- fine if you want to keep the price down and don't have any time expectations and are ok being packed in like sardines and potentially changing vehicles without having any real understanding of what is happening- it'll be fine. I knew the time was a "estimate "so I didn't mind being picked up late by about 40 minutes, the drop off time was not that late given how many other pick ups and drop offs we had to do, but at one point they just got us all off the van and made us transfer to an open vehicle without understanding why, but we were branching off depending on where we were going. There MAY Have been ac? Couldn't tell with how many people ! Again – if you want to save money, you will get there. If you want to be comfortable – pay more and book a private vehicle or taxi

Directions when arriving to the pier were very unclear, most travelers seemed confused where to wait and which boat to board. Otherwise the ferry itself was fine and quite comfortable, although around 20 minutes late. Seats were a bit nasty with strange stains but pleasant to sit in.

First the boat stopped unscheduled, mid journey to drop some other passengers to a boat to go to Phuket in the middle if the ocean. Then the boat was too large to go to the pier, so it was a long tail & climbing over another boat to get on the pier. All of this took about 1 hour longer than the quoted time. I think next time bhundaya speed boats only for me.

We are quite disappointed with the service during our recent flight. We asked several times for blankets, but our requests were unfortunately ignored each time. We understand that flights can be busy, but basic comfort requests such as blankets should not be repeatedly overlooked. We hope you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the passenger experience. Kind regards, Enzo Taramelli

Driver came almost an hour later than our appointment. We thought, maybe we will be the last ones to be picked up, but that was not the case: we had to do 4 stops after us, so the driver just started the trip late. We texted the 'hotline' wich was online on whatsapp multiple times if we had missed our minivan, but they didnt respond. Also tried to called the number, but did not answer. The driver drove like an idiot: almost pushed two other cars off the road and overtook other cars where it was totally irresponsible.
