Khao Sok to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

The transfer from the boat terminal towards our hotel was in an old car ( call it a van). All the other transfers were great. At the boat terminal there was a strange situation. An old woman pushed us to take this old car and what looked for us as the official driver agreed with that. The official driver took our tickets but didn’t drive us to the hotel. After a long day of transfer this was the only remark. The comfort in the last vehicle was poor. The comfort during the other transfers was good.

All good. The operator asked to depart 30min earlier. We had to hazzle a bit, but at the end we did catch an earlier ferry and arrived 2 hours earlier.
