Do I need to transit through another city?
Some routes have no direct service and require a connection in Phuket, Krabi or Bangkok. We surface this clearly above; ask us if you are not sure.
Is hotel pickup included from Khao Lak?
It depends on the departure. On boat routes, the hotel-transfer column in the timetable shows whether pickup is included, charged +100 THB or not offered; shared minivans and private cars collect you at your hotel. When pickup is included, we confirm the exact time the evening before.
How much luggage can I bring from Khao Lak to Chiang Mai?
One suitcase plus one hand bag per person travels free on ferries, speedboats and minivans; there is no strict weight limit. On speedboats bags are stowed at the bow under a tarp, so keep electronics in a dry bag. Tell us when booking if you carry oversized items such as a surfboard or a bike.
What happens if the sea is rough or I need to cancel?
If the port authority or the operator cancels the crossing because of weather, we move you to the next available departure or refund you in full. For your own changes, cancellation is free up to 48h before departure; between 48h and 24h, 50% is retained; under 24h, tickets are non-refundable. Our team handles every change on WhatsApp.
