Because my accommodation was far from the stated pick-up point, I requested an alternative pick-up (along the route to be taken by the van). I was told I would be notified, but I never was so I had to travel into Georgetown (extra Rm16 expense) and walk to the stated pick-up. It was pouring rain so I got very wet. As it eventuated, the driver collected several passengers from their accommodation outside Georgetown and even further south of where I was staying. So for me, this part of their service was very poor. Although the van departed Georgetown 45 minutes late, we arrived in Hat Yai close to schedule. The e driver was efficient and very helpful, including taking me to an ATM prior to dropping me at Hat Yai train station. This part of their service was very good. Considering the ticket cost (80-100% more than several other operators), I would suggest there are better value options.
