Surat Thani to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

First driver was nice and nice Vehikel! 2nd Car AC smelled strong like mold and was tiny as fuck. Couldn’t even move my feeds for 3h. Wife from driver FaceTimed whole trip very loud. Very bad.

We got there in the end...we arrived 2,5 hours later than the ticket was for and had to change van in krabi after an hour's wait. And also here packets were picked up an delivered along the way. In this case the timing was not a problem, but if you have a flight to catch, you need to be wary.

Pick up was a bit unclear, but it all worked out without issues. The transfer in Krabi was smooth, no issues with our luggage. We even arrived way ahead of time :)
