The van where we made the transfer to Surat Tani was small. We were 11 people and the suitcases barely fit. I was sitting in the back seat surrounded by suitcases and I could not move my luggage.

Everything was great, but we had a long stop at Krabi busterminal until the other passengers get in the Bus. But we arrived in time.

Everything was great. We arrived with lots of time to spare for the ferry. Took a fifteen break on the way, so the journey was fine. Also, I was stranded by a no-show pre-reserved taxi to pick me up from my hotel to the bus stop. A phone call resulted in my being picked up from my hotel by the bus that we travelled to Koh Phangan on, which cost a lot less than the originally reserved taxi. Therefore, it was all super easy.
The staff at Phantip are really nice. The trip was spot on. The bus journey was really comfortable in a mini bus with air conditioning. The ferry wasn’t that great as it’s quite slow and you have to drag your bags up some stairs. Lots of room for a chill on the ferry though. For the price a reliable way to get to Koh Phangan from Krabi.

We were supposed to leave at 10am, we left at 10:30am, and supposed to arrive at 4:30pm, we arrived at 6pm.
The trip includes a minibus driving a little over 3 hours to a bus station, then another minibus taking us to the port. A 1-hour wait for the boat, and a 2.5-hour journey on the sea.
The minibuses and boat were pleasant, but we were given very few instructions, so we had to figure things out for ourselves and go looking for information. The minibus was full of suitcases, so we had to climb over them to get out.

Nous étions censé partir à 10h, nous sommes parti à 10h30, et censés arriver à 16h30, nous sommes arrivés à 18h.
Le voyage comprend un minibus roulant un peu plus de 3h vers une station de bus, puis un autre minibus nous amenant au port. 1h d'attente pour prendre le bateau, et 2h30 de trajet sur la mer.
Les minibus et le bateau étaient agréables, mais très peu de consignes nous étaient données, il faut comprendre par nous même et aller chercher les informations. Le minibus était rempli de valises, donc il fallait en escalader pour sortir.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?
Taxi
Some travellers consider taxi to be the most convenient form of overland transport thanks to flexible departure times, a possibility to choose the size of the car you need, and a hassle-free door-to-door service.
Things to remember: If you are planning to make detours during your trip, discuss it with your driver or service provider in advance as it may affect the price.

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 Phangan, 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.
