Koh Kood to Pattaya Destination Reviews

What was advertised as a 4 hour travel day almost turned into a 12 hour travel day. The only thing that was on time was the pickup to take us to the ferry. The brought us an hour early. the workers at the bus station in Trat seemed very flustered, unorganized, and confused. So it seems like maybe this has to do with your company (not the workers). The ride said we would get to Pattaya at 12:15 pm. We didn’t even leave Trat until 12 pm, and arrived in Pattaya at 5:30. If you have any plans after this ride, I consider making them for the day after you’re supposed to arrive. This company is unreliable and not honest. This would be solved if you could figure out how to do proper and ethical advertising of the journey, rather than leading people on with the promise of a short ride just to get more money out of people. Hungry capitalistic pigs

The transfer from the hotel started very well. The pickup was on time, and the boat ride from the hotel was comfortable. The staff both at the information desk and on the boat were very professional and caring. They took us safely to Trat Harbour, where the same friendly service continued. However, the transfer from Trat Harbour to Pattaya was the worst experience of my life. First, the driver brought along a woman — I assume his girlfriend or wife. The trip was supposed to take from around 15:30 to 20:00, but we didn’t arrive until 22:30. The driver didn’t speak any English and was eating almost the entire trip, which made the car smell terrible. Both of them were talking loudly and constantly, so it was impossible to rest. He drove slowly (40–60 km/h) on the highway while talking on the phone. The worst part was when we realized he had gone completely off the route shown on Google Maps. We tried asking where we were going, but he didn’t respond. We ended up in a dark, industrial area that felt unsafe — it was really scary. My brother and I even thought about ordering another taxi but were too afraid to get out. It turned out the driver had stopped to deliver some broken boat parts for repair — without telling us anything! In a foreign country, late at night, driving recklessly, and giving no information — it was absolutely unacceptable. Overall, the beginning of the trip was excellent, but the transfer from Trat Harbour to Pattaya completely ruined the experience

We were closer to Bangkok than Pattaya when we were transferred to a minibus to go back to Pattaya. The journey took 90 minutes longer than it should of done.

The pickup was on time at the resort in Koh Kood. The board and the van next to Pattaya were comfortable. We leave at 12:30 from Koh Kood and arrived in Pattaya at 19:30. We experienced a not direct road in our trip, we made an unexpected pickup adding some time to reach our destination
