We were left at a different final stop than we booked (should have been the Krabi bus terminal, but it was in fact elsewhere where they then scammed us into purchasing a taxi service)

The driver needed without a reason one Hour more than usually expected. So we arrived in the middle of the night and he stopped somewhere else. The origin stop should be the Bus Terminal 1 in Krabi. He stopped 150 meters away from that point. At this point we met very aggressive people that wanted us to get in there taxis. We booked an bolt driver and suddenly they were following us. It scared us.
