Hua Hin to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

Oceane F

We had a very nice experience. Our driver was really nice, he arrived early at the meeting point so we were able to leave earlier. The trip was perfect and we had all the time we wanted of we needed a break to buy food or to go to the toilet. We recommend if you plan long transfer in Thailand.
