Khao Lak to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

R
None of the locals knew where the pick-up station was. Despite GPS data, it was very confusing that it was in the last corner, at a restaurant and a hidden unclear sign. The bus is getting on in years, but the trip was okay overall. At one bus station we took a break for ages. Much longer than the announced 20 minutes. We were dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Confusingly, the place was called exactly the same as the harbor on the dam. There was no chance of organizing onward transport.
