A little stress at the airport. We see a 12go shuttle and the driver told us he is full and another shuttle will come. Finally it was not a 12go shuttle but "Asia" brand. I had to look at all guides

Combined speed boat and minivan was not really good idea.
We arrived at Hat Yai Rail Station and have been waiting the driver for almost two hours and the speed boat was late.
The company made everything easy, all packaged into one service. So since our flight arrived too late to take this service directly afterwards, we stayed at Signature hotel at Hat Yai for a night and got picked up at the hotel instead of the airport ( hotel is right next to airport). The van right was comfortable with air conditioning and just two other passengers besides my girlfriend and I. When we got to the pier, driver brought us to nearby location to get our vouchers for the speedboat. We waited for about half a hour before boarding started. Everyone gave the crew their luggages to put in the front and we all lined up and boarded according to our ticket number. Seats were first come first keep. Body was crowded but manageable. Boat ride was comfortable enough, but bumpy. Sit in back for a better view, but only if you don't get seasick.
Un viaje que te lleva a una nueva experiencia si nunca viajaste en speedboat, si bien salta mucho por las olas, puedes disfrutarlo... cumplen con el horario previsto... volveria a utilizar este servicio porsupuesto.
Driver has no simple briefing of how n where l to pick up ferry ticket after drop off at pier. Late pick up 15 mins. is ok, but looping back to airport in heading to pier is tiring.
We left the airport early since everyone had already checked in, and maybe because of that we arrived to the port about 30 mins early. Arriving at the port/ferry was a bit chaotic but it all worked out and we made it to Koh Lipe right around 1pm, as advertised. At one point the driver suggested we'd get to Koh Lipe at about 3pm because the ferry would make multiple stops, but that didn't happen. I don't know if we just got lucky or not.
