“Besser vorplannen und bei wirklich grosse Wellen sollte man es absagen, bei solche Wellen macht es kein Spass! Essen war Katastrophe, zu wenig Snacks für unterwegs! Die Wartezeiten am Pier waren viel zu lang, wir müssten vor 9:30 da sein und erst um 11 Uhr sind wir abgefahren. Wegen die grosse Wellen konnten wir nicht ins Maya Bay. Generell Speed Catamaran ist kein guter Wahl, da man die ganze Zeit beim Fahren sitzen muss und dies macht kein Spass. Die Abfahrtszeiten von Phi Phi haben sich immer wieder geändert, sodass wir mehrmals hin und her laufen mussten und niemand gabbuns Bescheid, also müssten wir im Chat schreiben. Nächstes mal sollte…”
