Ticket was for the Raja vehicle ferry, boarding was a bit confusing but plenty of seating upstairs, you need to be fine carrying own bags. Van transfer to Krabi was clean, comfy and easy!

The van which was very warm inside and with uncomfortable sweats didn’t go until Patong beach, it left me to Pucket bus station and from there they show me to take a bus. An employer in the bus propably because he understood the mistake asked me which is my hotel in Lating beach and he told me they are going to let me close to the hotel . Finally the bus driver left me from the other side of the city that was the last stop and he didn’t know English at all to communicate

Overall it worked and on time but the inbetween parts of where to be and where not to be are entirely up to staff being present and telling you where to go which always makes me a bit uneasy. Bus was also fairly warm and full but not the worst.

Everything was on time; however, the bus was a bit too small for the number of passengers.
