Ride was good but the driver was on his phone a lot

Easy to find the information about the pick-up point, it was on time and it brought us to the good place. However, it was full when we joined at Khao Sok so we had to sit for 1h-1h30 on the floor. Then some passengers left and we could take their seats.

Everything was fine with the bus, but we stopped at one of the nastiest toilets i have ever seen in my life. Way below the normal Thai standard. Nobody has ever cleaned these clogged, overflowing toilets. And then there is no running water to clean your hands. Just a bucket of rainwater. Seems disrespectful to the customer to offer them this bathroom stop with shit-smeared walls.

The Bus made a stop 40 minutes after departure. They told us we would stop for 10 minutes, we stopped for 45 minutes! The Bus had no toilet, no food or drinks. We arrived more than half an hour later than planned. Apart from that the travel experience was okay.

The air con was not on, when we asked him to make it a bit cooler, he only made it 1 degree cooler. We were sweating the whole journey. The driver drove extremely dangerously. I understand that driving in Thailand is different but we were almost in various avoidable accidents where he had to slam the breaks or swerve erratically. But we did get there an hour quicker than quoted.
