It was horrible. I have booked minivan and fairy from Koh Samui to Krabi. Until we got to the bus it was still a minivan, then 20 of us were in a bus that didn't have enough space for luggage so all the exits were blocked. It's not like you stopped for a quick 5 minute break, but even in an emergency, there's no escaping. Then we went to Krabi bus station, where we were again divided into vans that were much too small, there was space for 3 bags for every 10 people. We and a few others then decided to continue on our own as there was no space anyway. The vans were completely full. This meant we had to pay another extra fee, which we actually already paid with the tickets. So much trouble and reorganization, catastrophe. Never again.

Great company but let down by the drivers. Don’t run on time and there is a pattern with the drivers we experienced. They were all rude

We were not dropped off at Krabi Bus Terminal (what we paid for). The bus driver didn‘t want to bring us to Krabi Bus Terminal…

Just be a little bit patient. People will help you as soon as the crowed of people was handled. Wait until they come back. We were the last persons there and were put in an other bus to our planned destination

The ferry was fine but the van/bus from Surat Thani to Krabi was not great, not comfortable and not enough room, no hold for luggage, you end up with your luggage in front of your knees.

Le ferry était bien mais le van/bus de Surat Thani a Krabi n’était pas terrible, pas confortable et pas assez de place, pas de soute pour les bagages on se retrouve avec les bagages devant les genoux

Very poor communication from the company meant that the bus dropped us off at another location rather than the destination listed on our ticket. When we requested a transfer to the stop listed, we were met with laughs and were told to get a taxi at our own cost. In addition the driver drives like a maniac, which is to be expected.

Enjoyed the spacious place for a ride after all tiny speed boats. Would be even better if they offered shuttles from different parts of Koh Samui.

Bit of a disaster to be honest. Ferry was fine, hopped on a bus that we assumed was the last leg of the trip. Was dropped to a bus stop where everyone was separated onto mini-buses-had to wait over an hour. Was then crammed onto a mini-bus for 2 and a bit hours. Was supposed to arrived in Krabi for 1pm, got there after 3pm. Not what was advertised.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?

Van
Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Koh Samui and Krabi, too.
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.
