Vehicle broke down, we had to wait for 2 hours next to Bangkok highway. No sorry, no compensation was given! It happens quite often that vehicles break down according local fellow traveller

Its difficult to rate because whos fault was it? First, the door to door transfer was great without any critics. But ! On the ferry a 100% NOGO. We stood on the bus when we entered the ferry and than they place other cars so close, that nobody could leave the bus. This a serious offense to security regulations. We been in a trap while the sailing and it was bad weather. Many accidents can happen with a ferry and they let us in a coffin! In the end nothing happend but thats roling the dice with our lifes. So fault of the ships crew but also the driver. He has to complain that the passengers have to have at least the chance to leave the bus for security reasons!
