We came in with our luggage. The saus all luggage weight and sizes. As i came there the lady said i have to pay 100 baht. This is not what all size and weight means. She was very rude and wouldnt even read the ticket. I paid the money but she didnt even put the money in the counter. It was all a big scam. The man at the vehicel and the drivers were very nice and helpful.

Ride had A/C, but this was not a VIP bus. It's probably a 20 year old bus that shows the wear of a 20 year old bus. There were no issues getting to Krabi, but just don't have high expectations for a $13 bus ride.

i’m a solo female traveler, and i ended up being the only one on the transfer van! i felt super safe the entire time, we stopped for a toilet break halfway through, and the driver got snacks and got some fruit for me too :) pick up was right on time, and we even arrived a bit early. the seats were comfortable and reclined almost the whole way back. very lovely driver!

It was ok...bus a bit hot even though aircon was on and didn't do a bathroom stop. It did get to our destination quicker than anticipated.
