Khao Sok to Khao Lak Destination Reviews

Incorrect information on PDF voucher from 12Go. The voucher stated that the bus departed from Khao Sok at 3:20PM, however, the real departure time was 3:00PM, so we missed the bus. Fortunately, there was a final departure time for the day at 4:00PM, but due to delays it didn’t arrive until 4:45PM resulting in a significant delay to our destination. The bus itself was great, the driver and assistant both being friendly and helpful.

Went from Khao Sok to Khao Lak. The time was totally correct, it ended up being 20min later than on the ticket. Not very friendly, when you just wanted a simple answer. The journey was fine though

The driver arrived on time. It was a very smooth ride and we reached our destination 1/2 hour before our estimated time. So - perfekt!

We had a very straight forward experience. Driver picked us up ~10:10a (10:30a departure) from our hotel. We picked a few other people up and arrived 15mins ahead of schedule. Really nothing to add, everything was good!

No more "Call me taxi" transfer!! He was more than half hour late, he then stopped to get a coffee and we all waited 10 minutes. He was driving crazy fast. He then stopped to take 2 more passengers with luggage but we had only 1 seat left!!! So not the best transfer...
