Phuket to Surat Thani Destination Reviews

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
