Great service, perfectly on time and easy communication in English. Jac July 2018
It took us 1h40 to reach the pier. I need to say the driver drove very safely and he needs to be commanded for his deiving. (I had a bad experience before with another company from Krabi airport). Everytime the bip was on, he immediately reduced the speed of the vehicle. Thank you Christian May 2018
