Booking was easy, staff was friendly, ride was smooth. However, we had to wait for 30 mins and were asked to sit down and then get back up twice - seemed a bit chaotic.

Booked a ferry through 12Go from Maenam to Koh Phangan and ticket stated that due to weather conditions the ferry will depart from Nathon and not Maenam. I emailed 12Go to confirm the pier had changed due to weather as stated on my ticket. On the day I got to Nathon Pier only to be told the ferry had changed back to Maenam. No communication from 12Go, which caused me extra taxi cost and I almost missed the ferry. I emailed them multiple times to understand why change was not communicated and request a ticket refund to cover part of cost of 2nd taxi and they ignored me. The journey itself was fine, but the customer service and lack of updates were very poor.
