Terrible service. Instead of a joint van we had to travel on a big dirty and uncomfortable bus. The speedboat stopped on the way to ko lipe without asking the guests if they want to stop. Or explaining why we have to stop in case there is a reason.

Fast, effective, straight forward and my name on a sign held by my driver at the pick up point. I have booked with Bundhaya to get to my next destination :)

I book the transport for 8:35am but the driver came after 9:00am only. We had to wait for too long

Everything was fine. Picked up at the airport with a name sign, led to the pier on bumpy roads smoothly. Boat was nice with seat rows, not stacked on each other like on some other boats. I recommend.

Because of the floods in hat yai the 28th we didn't have our transfert from hat yai airport to the kho lipe. (#L38784)The shuttle company wasn't at the airport and they didn't answer to our calls We had to book with another company, a new transfert for the next day (#24698650) and stay one night at the airport. We never had news from you, not even an update about the transfert #L38785. Concequently I ask you to refund the transfert not provided I thank you for your understanding and your quick refund Best regards Magal huon

Smooth ride, collection from the hotel, the transfer between the van and speedboat was quite chaotic and no one told us to keep hold of the park entry ticket which can be used for one of your snorkelling trips.

Very professional service. The van was clean and air-conditioned, and the boat crew were careful and experienced. We felt safe throughout the trip. Thank you, Hi Lipe!
