we booked for 11am and they put us on a bus at 12am. It was really packed and we didn’t have that much space. The bags where between the seats so they sometimes fell on us. And we arrived later then planed. It said we will arrive at Ao nang at 14:50 but we arrived around 16:30 and we were the second stopp on Ao Nang
