Booking Your Transfer
When booking a bus or minivan from Ao Nang, use the live departure times, operators, and fares shown on this page rather than relying on printed schedules at the station, which can be outdated. If you're also planning a ferry connection, for example to Koh Phi Phi or Koh Lanta, check that your bus arrival leaves enough time before the boat departs, particularly during the low season when ferry frequency is reduced.
If any schedule, fare, or operator information you need isn't currently listed, please check directly with the operator, as details can change without notice.
