Smooth transfer

Everything went as advertised. Hotel pick up was 5 minutes late but friendly staff. Staff on very also helpful. Snacks on ferry were a little expensive.

Izabitdissapointed.

Not particularly well organised, prior to boarding, infact rather haphazard. Had to cross over to reach our ferry boat, passing over heavy luggage too. The boat seating below decks were cramped, and the cabin smelt strong of fuel oil. life jackets were available on the back of each seat. Seating great in the upper cabin was the same but smelt less of enging oil. Again life jackets were on the back of each seat,no safety card or instructions given in the event of an emergency. Although I formed where we cod purchase coffee/water etc. Having g arrived i Ai Nang, had to board another boat, boat to boat style. Thankfully the luggage was passed over for us. Arrived at Railay beach, to get off on a ver long pontoon apx 1/4 mile at a guess, made of plastic square segments, Incredibly difficult to pull your luggage along, no assistance available each person for themselves at this point.
