Well organized. We had 2 vans, 1 ferry and 1 van to take. Each step was nicely managed by Phantip team. We arrived 1h30 in advance !

Trip was OK, we arrived one hour before plan. Bus change in Surat thani with 30 min stop. Many short stop to take people on and off. I'm not happy about 12Go because they charged me a COVID Insurance I didn't want....check before booking.

The van driver from Khao Sok to Surat Thani seemed to make an excessive amount of stops and sometimes not even picking up passengers, this delayed our arrival into Surat Thani and then he drove recklessly to get us to Surat Thani on time. We then had another driver from Surat Thani to the pier who drove at excessive speed and had some close calls with other vehicles which just made it unpleasant
