Khao Lak to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

Diver was on time. Drove very safely, which is nice as I’ve had some journeys (not from 12Go) that I’ve not felt safe with. Catamaran ferry was a good journey, only downside was we got to the boat terminal at midday and the boat didn’t leave until 3pm m, so had to wait around for 3 hours.

The bus was late at Khao Lak bus station, but I had enough time to have the van & boat for Koh Tao. The bus was full and some poeple had to seat in the floor.
