I had to buy another ticket. I got the train from Bangkok and met the bus at the train station . I was told I had to make my own way into town which was 40 min away and the bus in town was leaving in 10 mins. She insisted I buy a new ticket to take me to town, then wait 30 mins for another bus to take me to Krabi. On reaching Krabi thé bus driver put us out on the side of the road and into the back of a truck which I had to pay more money to travel Shocking system

Definitely got what you pay for. Nothing flashy. Very tightly packed in all together. It was a quick trip got there in 1.50h instead of 3h. Grabs weren't allowed in the bus area we needed to walk out to the gas station.

I was very nervous about travelling by Phantip, having seen a lot of negative reviews. But the staff at Surat Thani were friendly and helpful, and check-in was fast. Bus was a few minutes late arriving, but despite stopping a few times for pickups/dropoffs we arrived in Krabi half an hour early. Air conditioning in the van was a little weak, but it was not uncomfortably warm. Driver drove fast but not recklessly. Based on my experience, I would use Phantip again.

I had an excellent experience going from Surat Thani to Ao Nang, Krabi. If you have taken vans and similar travel in Thailand you should have no issues. Easy to find the office and we were 45 mins early. The driver was very kind and tried a lot to communicate in English. Made a couple of stops for us to use the bathroom and get food which I did not expect on a short journey, but was very thankful for. Once we got to Krabi bus station we could Grab to wherever we needed to go, but the driver was happy to take us to our hotel in Ao Nang for a little extra $$ (same price as a grab). This guy was a legend and made our trip.

The driver drove very dangerously- overtaking on hills and blind corners, speeding a lot and just generally driving erratically. I did not feel safe at all.

The office staff went above and beyond. We really appreciated their attention, service, and even tips for what to do when we get there. Our problem was with the van experience. The van had a bad wheel bearing which as really loud, the driver was fast and aggressive and talked on his cellphone. We were a half hour late and when we arrived he couldn't find our backpack. He had already taken it out and put it on a bench but didn't know where he put it. It was found but it was stressful. And the group of taxi drivers he delivered us to were gangsters. We were asked to pay a ridiculous amount and when we got a driver on InDrive they told us they won't come because there is a police blockade. This didn't sound right so we used InDrive anyway. Our driver was too afraid to be seen picking us up so he parked around the corner and was in a rush to leave. We were trying to help a woman who's cellphone died and asked him to wait when he pointed at someone watching us and said that man will attack me and you. We have to leave. What kind of taxi gang did you hand us over to???? Your driver knew them! How dare you deliver us into such a dangerous situation! You would have 1 star in everything if I wasn't still thinking about the lovely office staff, but they should know better too!
