Because of the floods in hat yai the 28th we didn't have our transfert from hat yai airport to the kho lipe. (#L38784)The shuttle company wasn't at the airport and they didn't answer to our calls We had to book with another company, a new transfert for the next day (#24698650) and stay one night at the airport. We never had news from you, not even an update about the transfert #L38785. Concequently I ask you to refund the transfert not provided I thank you for your understanding and your quick refund Best regards Magal huon

I flew to Hat Yai and no one picked me up. I had to book a taxi at the airport to take me to Pak Barr Pier and pay to spend the night at a hotel in Pak Barr because all speed boats left for the day. Very disappointed the support stopped talking with me.

I had no way to get to Hat Yai Airport because I understood that all the roads were blocked and everything was flooded. I asked for a refund, but I didn’t receive anything.

Smooth ride, collection from the hotel, the transfer between the van and speedboat was quite chaotic and no one told us to keep hold of the park entry ticket which can be used for one of your snorkelling trips.

It felt like we almost died. Perhaps it was because the storm was hitting, so the waves were dangerous, but man this speedboat had one mission, and it was to arrive on time, no matter HOW we would get there...and arrived, we did.
