This is a ripoff. This is not a shuttle and a ferry. This is : shuttle wait about 40 mins at bus stop and change - public bus - wait about 40 mins at the station and change - public bus - tuk-tuk - wait about 40 mins - speed boat. I wish I knew that. We arrived way later than the advertised time: around 4PM instead of 1:30. Which makes it a 9 hour + journey. Walk from your hostel to the bus station, take the public bus yourself, change buses and take a tuk-tuk and then a ferry. You will save yourself about 50$. The only reason I booked this is because I believed it would be a van that would bring us directly to the ferry. And it was advertised as the fastest option. Boy was I disappointed. Operator, please don’t blatantly lie.

I think it would be helpful if we had more transparency about the journey. Eg change of bus, waiting time between bus, time of ferry etc

The driver from Khao Sok to Surat Thani was constantly on his phone. I didn't always feel safe. In addition the car was too hot, the AC didn't work properly.

No one explained that we will be passed around in 5 different cars, and the ferry was stinky and poor.

From Khao Sok van station to Donsak pier, they have charged us 400 baht extra, 100 baht each for bag, even though we are below the allowed inches. They were saying that they dont accept condition mentioned in 12go.

First part of the trip was in an overcrowded minivan with luggage. That was really uncomfortable and not safe in case of anyrhing would happen. The 2nd en 3rd part in a big bus and ferry was fine.

Positive: very good driver, thank you. Negative: almost 3 hours of waiting time at pier for transfer to Kho Phagnan. Timing not good. Great waste of time.
