Might be like Bintan. Resort bus will take u straight from jetty to hotel n imprison u there for a few days.....

 

 

If the hotel got nice facility and activities, some people would not mind to imprison there and simply just enjoy the services provided. 😂

regarding a car ferry service, these would work for shallow water berths but probably not pass MPA requirements for seaworthiness 😅

 

i took this red one in Nan, Thailand. It's to cross a man-made reservoir. Very calm waters.

this blue one is in Songkhla. I wanted to take it for fun (cross a lake) but the queue was too long.

Should allow cars to board the ferry like those in penang

How fast then do you think the ferry will be? 2 hours is already quite slow for what is called a 'fast ferry' leh... plus if it's the type that I took before to Tioman - it's super noisy and vibrates like crazy...

Anyway not for me... my wife can't swim - she sure veto this option... ha ha...

Only if you stay with Nirwana Resorts lor... if you stay in the main town area, then you are not held hostage to the exorbitant transfer fees to town mah... but I guess if the resort is good enough, then don't need to go to town lor...

This one run by Khazanah... hmmm... you know lar...

I think Hard Rock Hotel more reliable... will maintain the standard better since it's international chain...
