Driver dis not take us to the pier specified. Although we got to the island from that pier it was a long drive to the hotel from there. Also tried to sell us transportation on the island for 1000bath when he was obviously going over anyway.

The bus said it would go to Ao Thammachat but it let us in the middle of nowhere in Chantaburi and then we waited one hour to go to the pier and we had to pay again for the saeng thong. It is a scam!!

We waited for the bus 30 minutes after the scheduled time. We thought he'd left us stranded and wasn't coming. Just when we were about to buy another ticket for later, he showed up! Otherwise, the trip went well.
