The pick up came 45 minutes later than confirmed. We still made it on time though. Bit the minivan was so full that the luggage hardly fit in and one of the passengers wasn’t able to get off her seat anymore since the suitcases were stacked around her. The driver was driving like a maniac (but not really unusual in Thailand). Overall it was okay, we got there on time but don’t expect any comfort. But the rate was really cheap, so we can really complain 🤗.

No instructions on what was to happen. Waiting around without knowing when we were getting picked up. The ferry left 2:30 not 3 as stated. Coach was freezing cold with no way of changing temperatures. You stated one case one hand luggage. 2 ladies got on with lots of bags and cases that were stored by us and kept falling on to us. Worst travel we have done. I called and what’s append your customer service and no reply 😡

The „VIP Bus“ is not what was shown during the booking. There had been 4 seats in a row, not 3 as shown. The bus was very old and dirty. The personnel was rather rude and had minor English skills.
