I thought I booked a big bus direct and instead a sat for 1 1/2 hours in Surat Thani and then was told it was a mini van the rest of the way.. thank goodness it was actually a bus for that day, but we where 30 minutes late and I missed my connection

Ship from Phangan to the port was big, clean and nice but the BUS to Krabi was terrible. Driver was speeding all the way to our destination. He was doing well over 100-110 kmph and honking at people to push them from the road also the driver was talking over the phone while driving. The speed limit is 80 there for a reason. Bus full of people with shitty brakes…. You could hear that he is speeding because the bus had speed limiter installed and the thing was loudly beeping the whole journey.

We booked the catamaran from Koh Phangan and then travelled on to Krabi by van from Surat Thani. The catamaran was operated by Lomprayah, as is well known. However, the van was not, and so no one could or would tell us how to continue from Surat Thani. We were sent from one person to the next. There were no signs for the buses and vans. Finally, we found what we assumed to be the bus to Krabi. Instead of the van we had booked, it was a bus. It also took almost an hour longer than booked. No one on the bus wanted to see our tickets or take our names for a possible list. Shortly after we boarded, the bus drove off immediately. A few minutes later and we would have been left standing there. The transfer in Surat Thani was very unprofessional.

The van driver was always making calls, the organization was not good at all. 3 peoples were left behind and we should drive back. The driver was really rude!
