Probably a long shot, but I try! :)

How can I make my bicycle transporting with me from Donsak pier to Krabi?

Ticket office says: 'It does not fit in the mini van, but you can try to contact a truck driver or so in Donsak.'

But I don't speak Thai.

Looking for creative ideas :)

I have a regular mtb. Big buses not operating atm, but thx for your tip!

Yeah I thought the same: I just go there to Donsak and then will be good if I pay extra. The mini van has probably enough space and sure I can pay extra for it.

People transport their motorbike from one end of the country to the other every day, so you can definitely move your bicycle.

Ask a Thai friend to post the request in a local buy/sell group and you'll find a driver to help you in 30 minutes ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I use sometimes my FOLDING bicycle in a bus and ask can I do that with a mountain bike? Answer no

It seems like a cheap (but complete) schlong and balls compensation.. like the red sports car on roids with extra wheels to represent extra bollocks.

Yeah but can he do a back flip on that? ๐Ÿ˜‚

presumably you are on Koh Samui or one of the other islands.

Two choices I see use kerry for shipment to Krabi or take a goverment bus 999 which has more storage space
