Khao Sok to Khao Lak Destination Reviews

TA
The driver missed my drop off point and instead of going back (for 2 minutes), he stopped the car, opened the door, talked on the phone and didn't talk to me. At some point I realized he wanted me to get out and walk which I did..

Bus arrived 30 minutes earlier, good we’ve been there as early as required. Therefore no problem. Bus was also ok. We asked in the office if the bus will also stop at „Bang Niang Market“. She agreed and informed the driver. But in Khao Lak the driver forgot our stop. After I asked, he answered only a hectic „Oh, yes yes“. And he drove two additional kilometers. Thought he would turn around, but stopped on the street with saying “Hurry hurry” because it was raining cats and dogs. Thought he would arrange something but only jumped into his bus and went away. Left us in the rain about 3km away from our bus stop!!! We needed to pay a taxi for 200bt to get back!!! Not our best experience with public transportation in Asia.

We waited an infinitely long time in the village of Takua Pa and we simply had no idea why. Extremely annoying. A van is definitely recommended for this route, as the bus travels at crawling speed through mountain passes.
