Krabi to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

I booked to go to Surat Thani train station and was dropped off at phantips office in town told id have to pay another 100 baht (no big deal) but would have to wait an hour so took a private taxi for 300 baht, the low mark is mainly for the journey, was seriously flung up and down for most of the way due to the driver going too fast on poor road condition, my back was in bits another 300baht for a massage , seriously, the suspension or something more serious will probably collapse on vehicle if not addressed 🙏

Zero communication on pick up from hotel. I called, texted, zero answer or reply. I finally jumped in a Grab and drove over to the office. When there is was told to wait 20 mins. 30 mins later I was told to wait 10 mins. I was piked up finally at their office. The drive from here in went fine. Not sure if I would have been picked up at the hotel.

I booked 3 seats instead of 2, as we had 2 hefty rucksacks as well as 2 cases. The extra space wasn’t expensive, and it was a wise move, as it gave us both plenty of room. It would have been quite ‘snug’ otherwise.

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 Surat Thani, 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.
