Phuket to Krabi Destination Reviews
TS
Tamas SThe bus was very old, the textile on the chairs were torn, the seat belt was not working, and the bus was full of mosquitoes. The bus stops at many places, so it adds on to the travel time. And lastly, when we were dropped off a lady in 12Go T-shirt came to us to manage the transport from the station to the hotel, they collected everybody and it seemed official but it turned out it was just a scam, they charged us more for a van full of people than a Grab taxi would have, but we realised it too late unfortunately… all in all, I wouldn’t chose them again.

Ondrej BKinda ok, but definitelly not VIP minibus. The chairs were uncomfortable and there was little leg room. In the middle I was told by the stewardress to change seats just because someone else got on the bus. Also the charger was not working.
