It was a usual hot day, and the van was full with other passengers. This made it very hot and sweaty. We asked the driver for the AC, he said yes yes but did not put anything on. Halfway at a stop one of the passengers had to turn on the AC himself. Then beforehand we had to fill in our drop off point, but instead of driving us to this stop, he asked for people their phone to get directions where to go. This added a lot of wasted time, since he went from north Khao lak to south Khao lak back to north etc. 1 star experience, but 2 stars because he turned on the music while everyone was sweating his ass off ;)

Everything went well for me. However, I was also the first to be dropped off and the bus was only half full. It took us longer than indicated. So you have to allow considerably more time than indicated. But that's always the case with minivans in Thailand. I knew that beforehand. So it wasn't too bad. As the journey started early, I ate something at the bus station, which I don't recommend.

Bei mir hat alles gut geklappt. Ich war allerdings auch der erste der abgesetzt wurde und der Bus war nur halb besetzt. Dafür haben wir schon länger gebraucht als angegeben. Also man muss schon deutlich mehr Zeit einplanen als angegeben. Aber das ist in Thailand immer mit den minivans. Das wusste ich vorher. Also nicht schlimm. Da die Fahrt früh losging habe ich am Busbahnhof etwas gegessen, davon rate ich ab.

Driver knew which hotel to drop us off when leaving Krabi, however didn't realise he had passed it. We had to inform him and then organise for him to talk to the hotel to find it (the entrance was a little hidden). At the end he turned around and got us there (that's why only 4 out of 5 stars). Other than that perfect like we are used to from 12GO.

Our resort in Khao Lak was confirmed as our destination. During the drive, which was ok, we were told that we could only be delivered to Khao Lak. We then had to invest another 300 baht to get to the hotel. It's not OK!

Forgot to drop us off at our hotel. We had to pick a taxi for 300 baht to take us to the hotel. Poor service
