Phuket to Khao Lak Destination Reviews

LT
It was okay-ish. More like 2.5 stars. We booked online and the website resetted it to a different date. We heard that this is a common problem from someone who booked with them earlier. This is annoying, so watch out and check that you have the right days. They made us pay 200 Baht to change the time to what we wanted to book originally. It was not much cheaper for two than a taxi would have been, so I would just grab a taxi next time instead of the mini van service. The ride in itself was fine.

More details about what to expect at "check-in" would be helpful. There actually isn't any "check-in" you just wait in the designated area until a van comes. The van has "Call Me Taxi" written on it, and the driver should have your name on a list. Other than that, was a smooth ride, with great drop off service right to your accommodation.

We stood at a rest stop for just under an hour. At some point, when asked, the driver said that we were waiting for another vehicle that some had to transfer to. At the airport, there was then a lot of back and forth with three or four cars as to which passengers had to get into which vehicle. Accordingly, we arrived late.

- Private Taxi didn't come - We had a back and forth with the hotline until they found a new solution - 2 hours later a shared van picked us up and drove us to the airport - there we have waited 20 minutes until a private taxi picked us up and drove us to khao lak - the promised us 50% discount - the ride with the private taxi was great. Big, new and clean car
