Everything super good until it came to drop offs. They dropped off every single person except us. They wanted 50 BAHT off of each of us to take us up the road. We said we will walk as it’s 12 minutes. Started walking and they drove the girls in the van to where we were going anyway for free so we didn’t need to get out? We were drove past by your van 2 travel car twice in the pouring rain

Was worried that it was going to be hard to find but the voucher had all the information! We had a 15 minute stop after the ferry to use the washroom and get a drink and snacks! Very well organized!

The ferry was really okay, as was the bus ride. The minivan, however, was a constant source of stress due to an irresponsible driver. Even after seeing another, wrecked minivan on the way, our driver drove very dangerously.

Koh samui to Surat Thani = fine Surat thani to khao sok = put onto overbooked minivan and had to squeeze 4 people into space for 3. Which meant sitting on the joining point of 2 seats for 2 hours. Painful back and no seatbelt available.

We missed our ferry in Koh Samui. A friendly employer of phantip came to save us and drive us really fast to Surat Thani so we could make it on time to get our bus to Khao Sok. Really great service! Would recommend it 100%

The trip was good, especially the last part in the minivan. Very luxurious. We had a bad experience with the checkin. We were forced to pay two times 300 days Baht for our luggage but our luggage was not larger than that was allowed with our ticket. ( also less weight). Compared to other customers in our minivan, our luggage was smaller and they didn’t pay this extra amount.
