Theoretically everything went smooth. But this bus does not go straight to Phuket. In the tour agency they have map with something like 8 to 10 stops. This would be okay and no problem at. But in reality this bus stops at every little village and in total we are talking about 30 stops. This of course has a direct influence on the scheduled arrival time. We were about one hour late!

Long trip, only in Thai o we had to ask around about break time etc. But overall cheap and good transport for a route you cannot go with other transport.
