Overall we got great service but in the final segment from Surat Thani to Khao Sok the driver filled the van and made many stops and even delievered packages on the way!

The 1h waiting time at the Donsak pier was, in our opinion, completely unnecessary.

Everything was perfect organised, the ferry, touringcar to Siratthani, minivan to Khao Sok. Not 5 stars because when tried to contact them by whstsapp (as they suggested in their email) to ask to pick me up from my hotel, they did not respond.

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

Palin was proactive, clear and precise on here guidelines regarding boarding and de boarding instructions, Palin and here team of 2 drivers went over and above to bring my lost wallet with lot of cash, my credit cards and ID cards back to me while I continued my journey without any requirement to alter my journey. I am extremely to her and her team and they are very professional and punctual, highly recommended for all!

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.
