the driver left with my luggage but without me at the stop he made. inhad to run and cross the motorway(2x3lanes) to catch up with the bus on the other side, lucky e he had to take a u-turn! then he dropped me in the middle of nowhere/ i’m sure with best intentions (closer to my target), but no option there to grab a taxi / but he is a really good driver! before we left he left the door open (over 1/2h),even though the bus in front of us had is engine running and all the pollution went in the bus-he ignored my efforts to close it
Everything was perfect until Our transfer from Phuket to Patong. The driver insisted that we didn’t pay for the transfer to Patong when it stated it on the ticket and demanded more money from us. Luckily I rang 12go and they sorted it out for me before he was going to leave us on the side of the road.
The boat was on time, the driver was friendly, it was a small bus not a minivan which is a good thing but we still arrived 2 hours late. It's not the driver's fault because he only took two 20-minute breaks, it's just false advertising, they tell us a 7h30 hour journey when even without breaks it takes at least 9h. If I knew it was going for a 9h trip I would take a plane.
The ride took more than 3 hours than specified. The driver took more than 7 stops in between for example to buy fruits, refuel or to pickup or deliver packages. We stopped at a snack bar where the driver took a long time with his meal and everyone waited for him (About 20-30 minutes).
The ferry ride and first bus ride to the organasational stop in thongsala was okay
