Khao Sok to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

Franziska B

Everything went smoothly. We just didn’t quite understand why we were told to be at the bus station 30 minutes before departure and then had to wait a long time at the harbor (2.5 hours) after the ride. We would have preferred a slightly later departure from Khao Sok National Park. As it was, we had to leave as early as 5:40 a.m.

A too long travel for the entire trip due to an exxagerate waiting time at the pier. We should have leaved Khao sok 1h30 later than we did

The driver was an hour and a half late; the operator said it was because heavy rain, which was odd as it was a sunny day. To compensate, the driver drove dangerously fast, all the while talking on his cellphone. Three stars as we were on time to the ferry and other than his driving, the driver was nice.

Driver was early, van was clean and comfortable, stopped for a bathroom break, driver helped us with tickets onto the night ferry. The beds on the night ferry were a little hard but clean and tidy. Would do again.

Taxi driver was unkind and drove very rough and speedy. With reckless overtakes. Didn't help with the bags. The boat trip was bumpy but fine.
