The driver was on time and the ferry to Donsak and the bus to Surat Thani were also on time. I gave them a 1+.

Everything went really well. The connection was good. We were even there 1 hour earlier. From Koh Samui to Krabi Ao Nang. The bus ride was a bit turbulent. A bit cramped as there was so much luggage with all the tourists. Nevertheless, it was great.
