To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Green Planet offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Green Planet?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

They even brought us from Ao Nang to Railay beach for free, though it wasn’t included in the original price or trip.
Super smooth!

Great to be able to book online and everthing worked perfectly concerning booking, speedboat and hotel transfer. However there was not provided any life jackets for children and the staff just laughed when I asked them to get us some for my two children. That's not ok!

Stunning places to visit and swim, the hot springs are really warm and the emerald pool is stunning clear and refreshing. The white temple is ok, but would have preferred the day end after the emerald pool and hot springs. Our guide AB and the drivers name who I forget were also really helpful and watch over your belonging while you swim

Boat was overloaded, 4 people squeezed on a bench seat per row not very comfortable. Customers were frightened causing lots of tension. staff reacted in an angry and rude manner when people voiced their concerns telling people to "shut up". Very unprofessional and unorganised.
The boat journey was fine fairly smooth and on time.

The pick-up time at the hotel was not precise (40 min wait). The boat still left on time. The boat was a bit crowded, but efficient.

So overpriced.
We got to the pier and the prices were more than half the price. Outrageous price gauging

From Ao Nang hotel to Phuket hotel very fast trip. No hasle. I will book again. Thank you.
Clean, big boat, the problem is there's no bus service included from Patong/Phuket town so had to spend a lot in taxi to arrive on time. I'd rather pay more and get picked up from hotel or bus station...

Not clear that the boat was going to Koh Yao Noi as the arrival port was stated as a pier on Koh Yai Yai!

It was my first experience on a speed boat. There was no visible signage for the company when we arrived at the peer. However, once we found it, the service was excellent. On the boat, I did not enjoy being cramped with visibility only if you stand up or if you are the lucky ones in the back row. Once again, we appreciated when the driver announced there was seating in the open front (with the luggage) of the boat so we could enjoy the scenery along the way! When we got to AoNang we had to walk a little ways so we could be sent in the transportation to our hotels but it went smoothly. It took about 3 hours to get from the pier to our hotel in downtown Krabi.

Boat was too late and too crowded. The pier in Phuket is so far away from everything on Phuket. They will ask you to book a transportation from the pier to your stay in Phuket. You have to either take this option or take the taxi service at the pier which is a bit cheaper and private.

The “speed” boat was nearly 1hr late at the Bang Rong Pier :( we were told to meet at Railey Pier East but then we’re out into a long tail boat (poorly explained by the staff what’s happening), to get to another place to get on the truck, then to get to Ao Nang ferry pier where it all felt chaotic with the bags being put on the actual speed boat and people cramming into the boat. Overall it wasn’t a good experience.

Overall a good service by Thai standards.
The boat left Ao Nang with some delay and was pretty packed, especially as they use the middle rows of seats to store the luggage.
The crew were very professional and helped with the luggage. We were also offered water during the crossing.

The attendants were very nice and helpful, but there were no life jackets onboard. This is unacceptable. We are taking the ferry/speed boat Wednesday and hope you will have life jackets onboard abd will show the passengers where they are. Please fix this as they obviously should ge available. The ticket also said the speed boat had ac, a toilet, and cafe onboard but we saw none of these. Thank you
