Bei mir hat alles gut geklappt. Ich war allerdings auch der erste der abgesetzt wurde und der Bus war nur halb besetzt. Dafür haben wir schon länger gebraucht als angegeben. Also man muss schon deutlich mehr Zeit einplanen als angegeben. Aber das ist in Thailand immer mit den minivans. Das wusste ich vorher. Also nicht schlimm. Da die Fahrt früh losging habe ich am Busbahnhof etwas gegessen, davon rate ich ab.
Why is there no precise information about where the bus waits at the terminal? I had to ask three different employees and received three different answers.
We booked a van pickup for 10:00 AM, but the driver arrived at 10:35 AM. After that, we spent around 1.5 hours driving around Ao Nang to pick up other passengers and parcels, even passing our hotel several times. We only left Ao Nang after 12:00 PM towards Khao Lak.
We understand that shared vans need to collect passengers, but it felt like customers with later pickup times were included in our ride. If the pickup was actually scheduled to be later, clear information in advance would have been very helpful. We were quite frustrated, as we would have used the waiting time differently.
Arrived at destination 2 hours later than advertised.
Was ok when we finally got going but there was a lot of hanging about waiting for more passengers. This made us 2 hours later than advertised.
Pick up from hotel was on time. Transfer was advertised at approx. 2.5 hours. However they drove off route into Central Krabi (their office) then without clear information as to what was going on, waited there approx. 25 mins for another bus. So 1 hour wasted. Left their 1 hour after our Ao Nang pick up and was further away than starting point. Transfer fine, with 1 stop at terminal, again off route so adding again to time. So Transfer 3hrs 40 mins.
The 1st driver was crazy, driving in all lines al over and over to keep the pace on the road. Then drove to the garage station where drop everybody of. Nobody understood why at first. We waited for other driver to pick some of us. Because 2nd driver just came later eith other bus full of people. Looks like They just collected people to 1 place and then drived us to separate directions. It took like 3,5hours instead of what was writen 2-2,5hours. Always add more time for coming to finish.
Overall our experience was ok. The driver drove carefully. Pick up was also good. BUT we expected to have a travel of 2 1/2 hour. Instead we drove not the direct way. In sum it took us about 5 hours ca., cause we drove through the national park Khao Sok.
An information in advance would have been helpful.
