Krabi to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

MB
Staff is rude and not very helpful. At least we got to the destination

I have traveled several times with the company, the girls are lovely, very close and familiar. All very punctual, the vans are quite comfortable but the only drawback is the comfort of the night ferry, very small beds, many people and very close together. No doubt I will continue to repeat with the company.

Long waiting time from the time we are dropped off at the port until the boat departs. The transfer could be started later to adapt to the departure time of the ship.

Everything seems like a mess but it is really well organized. I was a bit scared about the boatride because I saw videos of people feeling sick. But the ride was very calm. The boat seats could be more comfortable for the 3+ hours you’re in it.

The sleeper boat was surprisingly comfortable. Everybody had their own assigned bed. Some beds were better situated because of the air con than others. The beds were a bit hard

Nightmare boat journey (so rocky & took an extra hour than anticipated) & bus left 1 hour late. Arrived in Koh Tao at 7pm Bags on the front of the open boat don’t look remotely safe

Bus was ok. The ferry departed only an hour later and we had to wait without being informed or whatsoever. The ferry itself was very rocky so I got very sick. And it took forever to get there, while it departed one hour late we arrived three hours later than planned on Koh Tao (!).

Pickup was 1 hour late, then a dude on a motorbike came to take me to their "office"; had to wait there for another 1 1/2 hours until the minivan arrived to take me to Suratthani. Almost there we ran out of fuel and had to stop in the middle of nowhere, where the driver was getting a gasoline canister. He did not speak a word of English so communication was quite difficult. After several stopps at gas stations and seeming a bit lost, we were way behind schedule. In the end I barely made it to the night ferry at the surrathani pier. Three stars only for getting me there in the end.

The Bus from Lomprayah Office to the Pier (Main Land) was not in best condition (mould on the roof linings). Service was good and in time.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Krabi and Koh Tao, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
