Hat Yai to Donsak Destination Reviews

Great experience all round. Driver was early and clearly signposted for us to find in reception. Van was super comfortable and spacious. We had a number of comfort breaks on request when we needed them and still arrived well ahead of time. Thank you!

I was very disappointed. I was not in Phantip 1970’s van. I don’t understand Thais, they put me and 2 others passengers in an old van. In a way I was so happy that I had arrived safely in Donsak Pier. I lost my trust with Phantip 1970.

The van in the photo when booking and the one we got was not the same. Old, smaller seats, poorly functional AC.
