Khao Sok to Ranong Destination Reviews

Waited 1 hour for another car to merge people in our van. Later we went to the bus station but needed to go to the pier. Driver was on the phone all the time and nobody knew why we stopped so long at the bus station and not leave to get our boat which was frustrating. So we got out and took a cab instead.

When we arrived for our transfers from a van to a bus it was 15:45 and there was a bus waiting. We got a ticket for the bus to Ranong which stated 15:45 but that was crossed and 18:15 was written on hand on it. Noone wanted to explain why we suddenly have to wait 2,5h more. We arrived 1,5h later than stated in 12Go. Both drives were average as both drives drove like rally drives.
