1 hour late and didn’t drop off in the correct location.

Small Van but does the job.

Phuket-Surat Unnecessary stops take at least 1-1:30 13:00-18:45 (late 15 min) I do not know how much you should pay to finally have a normal transfer that takes you from A to B without any stops on the way. 4hr drive becomes 5.5hr. It seems none of them do. Driver and car was fine, no questions.

Aircon struggled and didn’t really work. Bus driver didn’t take any shorter routes despite google maps showing heavy delays in some areas. Did get there safely about 1 hour later than expected

Bus was supposed to arrive at 6 30 and we got in at after 8. Bus was old and not very comfortable. Not enough seats for everyone. I had asked for a pick up near the north of the Island but was told that was not possible. Bus then went onto stop at multiple stops to let people on.

The main problem was that when the rain hit us, there was a leak. So, you weren't fully dry. That is my main issue. That the seats are worn off is too bad, but not costly. The leak was the full problem

From start to finish everything went smoothly - easy to operate Web page in booking to actual pick up, the communication at Phuket Airport was first class. The journey to Surat Thani ran almost exactly to the time line given by the driver. The vehicle was comfortable for the long journey. Would recommend this service to anyone
