Ranong to Phuket Destination Reviews

Theoretically everything went smooth. But this bus does not go straight to Phuket. In the tour agency they have map with something like 8 to 10 stops. This would be okay and no problem at. But in reality this bus stops at every little village and in total we are talking about 30 stops. This of course has a direct influence on the scheduled arrival time. We were about one hour late!

Everything was spot on. From the pick-up at Ranong Pier to Rawai. The driver was excellent, with a smooth driving style and occasional short breaks at PTT stations. The price is reasonable for this longer journey. On top of that, free water was provided for the journey.

Long trip, only in Thai o we had to ask around about break time etc. But overall cheap and good transport for a route you cannot go with other transport.
