Ao Nang to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

PR
The driver was extremely rude and drove very erratically. The whole journey was very unorganised. We got on one bus to be taken to an office where we all had to get off, get new stickers, pay an extra 100 baht to then get back on the same bus. It felt very unprofessional and a lot like they were just trying to get extra money from us.

They kept stopping randomly to pick up and drop off these white bags…. No idea what they were for but it did extend our journey by about an hour: we also had to wait 4 times as long for the second van than mentioned. And the van was filled up so tight there were bags in every walkway and footwell.

The first driver was on time at my hotel. Everything was fine until we changed of buses. There were too many suitcases and not enough spaces. Moreover, The driver forgot to open the doors for us during the stop (open after approximatively 10min) Overall, good value for money

The driver wanted us to walk the last 3 km with our luggage in the rain because he did not want to drive up a hill. We had to discuss 10 minutes with him and his Manager (?) on the phone. The Man on the phone first also suggested to walk the last miles to the Hotel. When we refused multiple times it was somehow possible to drive up the hill. The Hotel address was indicated on our application for the Trip in advance! Worst customer service we have ever experienced in Thailand.
