Very ineficient and long. Had to wait 1.5 hours in Krabi. Dangerous driving: speakingvia phone and driving one hand while crossing double-line and facing a car in front of us. Driver asked for 2x50 bath to drive to Khao Sok town center with other 8 persons. Driver pushed my back pack so i lost my shoes but it was not found in the van.

We had two very different trips. On the first trip from Koh Lanta to Krabi, the driver arrived early and was in a bad mood because we took a few minutes longer than expected, angrily pointing at his watch. He then drove at a snail's pace to the next hotels and got lost several times. However, we and one cockroach on board arrived in Krabi on time.
The second trip from Krabi to Khao Sok was the exact opposite. The driver was very nice, and the van was very clean, comfortable, and modern. The driver even let us out a little earlier because our hotel was on the way to the van station. Thank you again!
As you can see, it always depends on which driver you get.

Koh Lanta > Khao Sok, Arrived a little after estimated time but the journey involved a lot of stopping - one stop in krabi town for 1hr+, so felt like it could have been a lot more efficient.
First mini bus was stacked with luggage.

We had to wait 1 hour at the bus terminal and we arrived at our destination 2 hours later than expected. The driver also did some personal stops to fix his phone.

We booked transfer from Koh Lanta and hotel transfer was included in the ticket, but driver wrote us few hours before departure that we need to pay na extra 150 THB per person, because our hotel is too far. We were made to arrange taxi to the nearest village on his way, only 8 minutes far from our hotel, which was more cheaper than amount he told us. It's a scam.

I was very pleased with my booking with you. The van came right on time to pick me up in koh lanta, and all the way to Khao Sok. It was pleasant drive and everything went smoothly. I’ll reserve my next trip with you for sure.

The journey went smoothly. However, the driver picked us up much earlier than planned (30min), so we didn't get to eat our already ordered breakfast. We also arrived at our destination over an hour late.
We also had to change shuttles at a bus station without being informed beforehand. But otherwise nothing catastrophic to report

Le trajet s’est bien déroulé. Cependant, le chauffeur est venu nous chercher bien plus tôt que prévu (30min), ce qui fait que nous n’avons pas pu manger notre petit déjeuner déjà commandé. Par ailleurs, nous sommes arrivés plus d’une heure en retard à destination.
Nous avons également dû changer de navette dans une gare des bus sans être prévenus avant. Mais sinon rien de catastrophique à annoncer
