We picked up at least 20 passengers in Khao Sok, most of whom had to stand in the aisle. The bus struggled and the smell of burning brake pads was unpleasant.

Yeah, it wasn't exactly punctual, but we stopped for a great pastry meal along the way (bus station with plenty of street food) and generally the bus driver was nice and the experience smooth.

The fact that our driver mentioned where we could stop and take photos with incredible views is a point that stands out for us (it was a flat fee so no benefit for him). We value occasions where ppl think about what their customers want and he exemplified this. Good driving but the thoughtfulness commends him.
