The driver stoped to drop one person at the airport although we weren’t told there is going to be a stop there, he also drove extremely fast and irresponsibly

The car was not clean, and although the service was meant to include drop-off at my hotel, the driver refused and asked me to take a taxi from the entrance of Khao Sok. He was also not particularly kind. Given that this was the most expensive option, it did not meet expectations.

The ferry was great, there are enough places available outside in the shadow. Beatiful tour over the sea. Then you take one big bus from the pier to Surat Thani town, no clue how long that takes, no one tells you. Then you get into another small van to get you to Khao Sok. This last part was very poor. The busdriver stopped every 15 min to buy himself some stuff at the market/bus stations while the whole bus had to stay in the van and he didn’t communicate. As a pregnant woman I would have preferred to get the chance to get out too and use the toilet while the busdriver did his shoppings. Looking at the time, this whole experience could be done in 2,5 hours but since all of the stops it takes way more. Overall I’m always happy with the service of 12go but this ride was just very bad.

The Van and organization was good, however the driver tried to make us pay again to take us to the hostel even though that was specifically included.
