The minibus was in the twilight of its life. The window next to us rattled the entire journey. Also, a bearing in the transmission made a bad noise - the entire journey. The suspension and shock absorption gave out at the slightest bump and would not pass inspection. The worst bus journey I've had in three weeks. Stuff of PN Group was very helpfull and lovely, so thanks to them our trip was not a total swizzle.

Our Bus was one hour delayed. They said it was because of an accident but we have arrived at 9 am, the bus was there, the driver was there but it wasn’t until 10:30 till we left (scheduled was 9:30) we arrived at Koh samet at 14:45. so more than 1,5 hour later than expected and our day was basically spent with traveling. The driver was also dropping some people of on the way which made the whole drive even longer. Would not book again!

Mini bus service was so horrible. The driver's safety behaviors with operating the vehicle, routes management, he talked on call whole 4 hours, we had car broke down moments as well as unsafe bumps along the way, he stopped at many gates along the way too. However, speedboat service was alright but we were not asked to wear life jackets.
