The driver was on time a little early actually, the weather was bad but he got us there in one piece. Only real problem was that he dropped us off at the wrong hotel. The hotel called the one we should have been dropped and they come and picked us up.

The driver was a little late, about 15 minutes.then he drove us with a nice vehicle to the airport in Phuket. There we had to leave the car. We should wait for another car. We had to wait mir than 1:25 minutes for the another car. This car was an old bus . So we took nearly 4,5 hours for this short ride.

The driver contacted us as soon as we had landed in Phuket. It was easy to find him. He drove really carefully once it started pouring and we felt safe. It was no problem to stop at an ATM and 7/11. Super service!
