Once on the coach at suratthani the journey was smooth but the transfer from ao nang was 45 mins late despite asking us to show up 30 mins early for “check in”. This left us waiting in the sun for over an hour.

The service itself is very good, but the driver drives way too fast, and has no consideration for safety distances. Safety needs improvements.
