From the hotel to our destination, no problem, just slow, but om the way back, omg, the driver was talking non stop on the phone, he was unkoncentreted and was watching film on his phone while he was driving. When we were waiting for the ferry he was just sitting as he was not there suttenly he was accelerating, with that result his plastic cup tipt right down on my bellongins, so they went sooking wet, when came to Ao Nang, he could not find our hotel, so I had too find it on GPS, but we were sat of 500 m away still
