Alles in allem war der Bus gut, allerdings sind wir nicht dort angekommen was angegeben war. Die Kommunikation war sehr schlecht und wir mussten bei der Abholung vom Hotel zum Bus 3 mal den Wagen wechseln. Leider eine Enttäuschung.
We had purchased First Class seats and were the first to arrive. The door to First Class was locked and we repeatedly asked if we could get in. Finally, I showed one of the men on the boat our tickets and asked why it was still locked and they indicated we had to go and check-in again. By that time the line up to get on the boat was very long and I said that we needed some help. One of the young men on the boat offered to help and took me to check-in where I was given the proper stickers. After that, everything was great! Just ensure you get the right stickers so you can enjoy a great ride from beginning to end!
it was good. The only inconvenience is that the air conditioning was too strong and we were cold on the ferry.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews but I believe it’s important to let people know who might want to take this trip.
The experience was like from a horror movie. No loo paper, no sink, people vomiting left right and centre. Sea water coming in the gaffa-taped windows, pushy taxi sales man and not enough leg room- I’m 5ft 3 and most people had to sit sideways because their legs wouldn’t fit.
We left on time, which was great as I’ve been on another ferry that left about 45 minutes late.
However, while on board, an operator from the company pretty pushy about trying to get people to book a taxi at about double the price of a grab to get to Ao nang.
Then I went to use the toilet. I got there and there was no toilet paper left and no sink to wash your hands. There was a flushing loo (woo) but only a bin, sprayer, and big bucket of water with a scoop to flush with. So I went back upstairs and asked the lady behind the stall selling food if there was any more toilet paper. I got a very blunt reply saying ‘no’ and that it was finished. There was a pretty rude vibe. Thankfully I had wetwipes and tissues in my bag.
Afterwards, I went to where my rucksack was being stored to put my tissues away. I briefly sat down on the bench to have a drink with no intention of staying there long. The taxi man sales man ordered me pretty aggressively to go back to my seat. He then told me that many people had died that day (felt like an exaggeration as no news heard about this/maybe a translation issue?). I told him I was just having a drink. He continued telling me off.
I went downstairs and found a seat.
The sea was really rocky (no fault of the boat operators) but really concerningly many windows were leaking so when we rolled about, sea water was splashing on people’s heads. This kind of felt like part and parcel of the trip so not a major moan but it did add to the overall feeling of not being safe.
Then, it got extremely rocky. I took two travel sickness pills yet had to go out of the main seating area and sit on luggage because I felt so ill. When I got there it appeared I’d reached the sick bay. There was sick on a nearby seat. A lady was huddled in the fetal position while another lady splashed water on her face. A man threw up above us into a bag on the stairs. People had put on lifejackets. People were clinging to railings and looking very scared.
Thanks to the kindness of strangers, when I was sick I had a plastic bag and some wet wipes. But the tour operators were no where to be seen. We were basically left to deal with it ourselves. I wish that they had at least come downstairs to hand out bags or see if people needed water. I would have paid for the water and bag if needs be.
I’m so grateful to the kind ladies who nursed me and one another. And the other strangers who looked out for me.
I totally get that sea sickness or rocky seas aren’t anyone’s fault but I really wish there had been more compassion.
I was on the boat with a lot of really young backpackers. Some looked very scared.
And, the ferry arrived 45 minutes after scheduled so my grab driver had to wait a long time.
Please, tour guide if you are reading this, do better.

The boat from Phi Phi to Jilad pier left on time and was spacious. The taxi service from the pier to the airport was below my expectation. The company messaged the day before asking me to send a selfie to help the driver recognise me. At the pier, many ppl asked if I needed a taxi. The driver from Zest, did not show me my selfie, did not have my name, instead insisted I show my ticket. If he had simply said are you xxx? Or are you waiting for a taxi from Zest? It would have been fine. I felt uncomfortable around this driver.
