Krabi to Phuket Destination Reviews

Nice people. Driver should concentrate more on road than his phone.

We had made the mistake of selecting Krabi Town Transfer even though we stay in Ao Nang. Since Ao Nang is a part of Krabi, we thought that our hotel was included in the transfer option, but apparently not. We didn’t know this and we weren’t contacted by the company about the mistake. We were supposed to be picked up at 11:30, and at 11:40 I contacted the company to hear if our driver was late. We were told that we had made a mistake but they would send a driver to come get us, and then we just had to pay an extra fee of 150 baht pr person, which is completely fine. We were told that the driver would be there in 5-10 minutes. After 10 minutes, around 11:50, I got a text that the driver would be there at 12:40 instead. This was very frustrating to hear, since we had been waiting in the lobby since 11 am, because our voucher says to do so. We then called the company to hear what was going on, and why we had to wait that long. He had such and attitude and kept telling us that everything was our own fault, because we were in Ao Nang and not Krabi. I asked why they didn’t contact us, when we booked the trip, and told us about the mistake. First he said, that they had tried to contact us, and I told him “no, you haven’t”, then he started saying, “we didn’t have your contact information, so we couldn’t contact you”, which is very weird, when he just tried to convince me, that they had tried to contact me. He was very rude throughout the whole conversation, and yelled a lot at us. We couldn’t really say anything because he kept interrupting, saying everything was our fault and “you lose this”. I know we made a mistake, but I don’t get why they didn’t either contact us, cancel the trip or just get a driver to come pick us up in time, and we just had to pay a little extra? Instead he just ended up cancelling our drive to the bus station and we had to get a grab instead. If we had known this, we would have gone by ourself a lot sooner, but instead we sat and waited for a driver that never came. The rest of the trip was fine, except that they played loud and annoying music the whole way in the bus.

Unfortunately, the driver forgot us and we were waiting 2hrs to be collected. From communications with 12go support they tried to say that we were we not at our Hotel when they went to collect us, but they had actually left without collecting us, as we had been waiting outside our Hotel for over an hour at this point. I'd say the driver was probably on the road for 30mins before realising/12go support contacting him and returning for us. Thankfully we had left plenty of time before our estimated arrival and check-in time at the airport. But others on the journey didnt have that buffer. It would have been alot more stressfull for us if that was the case. 12go Support were very good and responsive in trying to sort it for us. My advice for all trips like this is to leave enough time especially if trying to catch a flight. Majority of the time services run on time, but things happen. This is the first trip with 12go that we have had an issue with and we have used their service loads plenty of times the past few years

Ao Nang hotel to Phuket Airport transfer booked- pick up time said 12pm. Waited until 1pm, no sign of van and no communication. Rang them, and they said they were on their way. Eventually turned up at 1:30pm. Arrived at airport at 4:15pm when booking said would be 3pm.

Driver was delivering 5-6 packaging to various locations which added lots of time onto our journey. Dropping off and picking up a lot of people en route aswell all whilst driving really fast and made us both feel quite car sick. We ended up getting off earlier than we had booked as we couldn’t deal with the lack of AC , reckless driving and cramped space. We didn’t expect much for the price but this one was just too much for us.

Where is the nicest part of Phuket?

The nicest areas of Phuket depend on traveler preferences, but Patong Beach is famous for nightlife and activities, while Kata Beach and Karon Beach offer quieter environments suitable for families. Old Phuket Town, rich in Sino-Portuguese architecture, provides a cultural and historical experience with its colorful buildings, markets, and temples. Surin Beach is ideal for luxury seekers with upscale resorts and dining. Phang Nga Bay offers picturesque limestone karsts and turquoise waters, making it a must-see for nature lovers.

Is it okay to drink tap water in Phuket?

Drinking tap water in Phuket is not recommended due to concerns over its safety and potential contamination. Most locals and tourists rely on bottled water, which is affordable and widely available. For environmental considerations, consider using a refillable water bottle and purchasing water from refill stations. Boiling tap water can also improve safety, but for peace of mind, rely on commercially purified sources.

Can you drink alcohol in Phuket?

Yes, drinking alcohol in Phuket is permitted, with bars, restaurants, and convenience stores offering a wide selection of beverages. However, sales are regulated, with restrictions on purchase hours (e.g., typically 11 am–2 pm and 5 pm–midnight). Drinking in public spaces like beaches or temples may be frowned upon or prohibited, and penalties can apply for violations. Always drink responsibly and adhere to local laws.
