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.
Driver was just confused from the very beginning. We stopped at like 10 different stops and each time someone knew would get on the bus and the more crammed it would get. The driver was clearly frustrated which then had a knock on affect on the overall service.
Our Bundaya boat from the islands was late. Black Tiger not only agreed to pick us up from Nopparat Thara Pier, they waited for us, too. Excellent, cannot praise them enough 🙏
Driver stopped multiple times for seems like his own purposes, talking on his phone and then didn’t drop me back to my hotel, just left me in front of some random hotel, probably as I was the last passenger he couldn’t be bothered! I undertood this service to be a transfer
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.
