Booked my journey from Koh Phangan to Khao Sok with boat and transfer by mini-van from Surat Thani to Khao Sok. Received good instructions from van2travel about where to meet after I arrived on Donsak Pier. Smooth transition from boat to mini-van and great drive to Khao Sok.

The driver stoped to drop one person at the airport although we weren’t told there is going to be a stop there, he also drove extremely fast and irresponsibly
