Good Organisation, friendly staff and a safe drive. But the bus driver kept singing the WHOLE journey from Bangkok to Surat Thani. The guy on the mini van who took us further to Khao Sok wanted 300 Baht to just drop us off 500m before the official drop off point. Of course we did not do that and walked the way back. Furthermore, just give people from India a bus for their own, I’m sick of these people. Farting and burping all the time, no matter if someone is around. The whole journey as well right behind me. Disgusting!

As per price the quality is very poor water dropping from Ac, guide hardly speak English and behaviour is aggressive. In 12 hours journey they give only break and so called washroom in bus flooding with shit no tissue no water. Lots to improve i feel like i am robbed they drop you in such a place you won’t find any transport and scam you to buy ferry ticket from them at higher price
