We wait in the bus almost half hour not knowing what’s going on. Our boat was delayed almost 3h, nobody could tell us why, the boarding was one big chaos, the staff don’t have any sign telling which group is boarding, after 15 minuts they get a sign telling who is going into boat. A lot of children waiting in line crying. The boarding took almost 45 minutes.

Good but poor speedboat. Took a total of 2.5 hrs on road and 3 hrs on boat. Felt like the boat would capsize had a very bad case of sea sickness. Mentally prepare yourself. Although weather was good, sea was rough. My take would be taken the morning ferry instead. Unfortunately the only alternative is to go to Samui by flight (expensive depending on season) and 2 hrs boat ride.

The journey was hellish - either due to choppy waters or due to the driver brazing through the sea like a race car. Not to mention we still reached 2 hours late than the promised time.

So efficient and helpful! Easy communication through what’s app to help find the location and keep up to date. They were really accomodating to me as I had trouble getting to the pick up location and they made sure to pick me up on time so I didn’t miss the van and ferry. Super great company to book with :)

Recommend to advise passengers how to move to the domestic flight cause we missed it, we didn’t have any explanation how to get to the gate

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

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 Krabi and Koh Tao, 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.
