Koh Lanta to Phuket Airport Destination Reviews

Overbooked,was mean to go straight to Phuket from Koh Lanta but they stopped at phi phi island and picked up more passengers then they realised it’s overbooked and no seats they had to get them out of the boat was just waste of time stopping.
The ferries from Ko Lanta to Phuket were great, we had to change in Phi Phi and it was all organised well. The organisation of being assigned mini buses was also great. However, the transfer to Patong was awful. The driver was the worst we had in Thailand. Constantly accelerating full speed and slamming on the brakes. He near crashed into the back of so many cars. He was too busy watching youtube and facebook videos than concentrating on the road. I think we were unlucky with our driver.

Pick-up from the hotel on time.
Ferry halfway within the time frame.
You always have to reckon with delays.

Pünktliche Abholung vom Hotel.
Fähre halbwegs im Zeitrahmen.
Mit Verspätung muß man immer rechnen.

The Van stopped a million times and the driver never informed us about how long we'll be at those random stops. Sometimes it was a minute, other times 20 minutes, so it was unclear whether we should stay inside the very full and not very comfortable mini van or if we can catch some air outside. Van also stopped at a bus stop about half way through and we had to switch busses. Which was very unexpected and the driver (again) didn't really explain what's happening. Very strange experience. Recommend taking the ferries instead.

Boat was on time. Staff helpful with luggage and getting on/of the boat.
The rider was very friendly and drove fast but safe.
There was enough space, altough for taller People it can feel a bit crammed. The bus stopped at a lot of random places to pick up others of groceries. The bus made three small stops so you have time to make a bathroom stop and buy some food. The only thing you should not do is ask the driver (signs hanging in the bus) to go to one of the beaches (Kata, karon,...). He'll charge you 100Baht pp just to put you on the local bus (which Cost 40baht). Overal a good way of transportation, despite the negative reviews from others i was happy to have a save and comfortable ride. Do keep in mind this is Thailand, time schedules aren't as exact as mentioned, so don't book other transportation basad on the arrival time...

Based on previous reviews booked expecting a bad experience and do be dropped at the wrong terminal, but the pink striped bus actually picked us up (20 mins early) from our hotel, and took us all the way to the correct bus station (terminal 1) in Phuket.
Maybe we got lucky.
Plenty of stops for food and toilet

Well the vessels this time ( Aonang princess 7 and 9) have been OK. Anyway when we change the vessel at Railey we get into a full vessel so no sets available because some people need to reservate a lot of seats. If you sell tickets to a ferry you should guarantee a seating too.
