What travellers say: Krabi Transport and Travel vs Songserm

Both operators earn similar overall ratings from reviews, with Krabi Transport and Travel at 4.15/5 and Songserm at 4.05/5, reflecting generally positive but mixed experiences focused on value and reliability.

Krabi Transport and Travel

Reviewers praise Krabi Transport and Travel for friendly drivers, good value, on-time arrivals in many cases, and smooth journeys when organised, but note frequent issues with overcrowded vans, undisclosed vehicle changes, vague pickup details, lateness on some legs, and occasional reckless driving or surprise fees.

Songserm

Songserm receives credit for cheap fares, spacious big ferries that reduce seasickness compared to alternatives, helpful staff on board, and easy booking when on time, though complaints centre on common delays, disorganised luggage handling, ageing vehicles with poor cleanliness or AC issues, and extra charges or poor communication on multi-leg routes.

Sentiment is comparably balanced for both, with strong value noted but reliability caveats; book either through ThailandBoatTickets.com where the 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook helps confirm details and updates.
