We thought the bus start from the airport... Actually you have to take a taxi for 10 minutes... So nothing to see with the airport and as 12Go doesn't give the exact position before you book and pay the ticket... And more, the bus should stop at the second bus stop, just in front of Khao sok lake as it is on his way to surat Thani... Because at the

The bus will depart on the location that the ticket says, which is a bit away from the main bus station. Following the location instructions will lead you outside of a Muay Thai training place. We asked to wait in a small area on the left of the Muay Thai, which beverages, water and toilet could be found. We departed earlier as we have all gathered earlier and we arrived 1.5 hr earlier than the indicated time. The driving followed the Thai standards. Views form the road were beautiful.
