Koh Samui to Khao Sok Destination Reviews

AB
The trip was good, especially the last part in the minivan. Very luxurious. We had a bad experience with the checkin. We were forced to pay two times 300 days Baht for our luggage but our luggage was not larger than that was allowed with our ticket. ( also less weight). Compared to other customers in our minivan, our luggage was smaller and they didn’t pay this extra amount.

We booked the wrong destination so when we realized we asked the driver if he could take us to the right destination he was so kind and take us all the way to our hotel which is another hour ride from the destination we booked

Very punctual and pleasant. The driver was also flexible to drop us off a little bit earlier than the main stop.

If the bus has 10 seats, it is not possible to put 11 people on it. The comfort was also far away so the 4.6 rating is not worth it. I will say 4.0 rating. But because of the high rating, I have decided to do my rating lower as said

Not everything was on time, but this is Thailand and it clearly states it on the ticket. Each leg of the journey was it's own adventure with comfortable well air conditioned vehicles
