Was told we was going to be picked up at 6:30am. We was outside by 6:20am. Don’t show up until 8am and didn’t message us to let us know.

It would have had 5 stars but the driver turned up over an hour late and we had to change bus 3 times and drop off people at Krabi airport. But overall an ideal service

No idea what was happening. Told to get out. Left to wait with no information. Picked up by another van.

The driver drove us to the wrong travel agency. A Man at the agency explained to us that the driver had not taken us to the right spot. He tried helping us and called 12go.asia. They said the driver has to come back. Well, he didn't. So we spend 100 Bath to get to the other station. Then we hopped on a Mini van that Was so small my friend had to fit his knees outside his seat because it was to little space. Then we drove to several stations to pick up people. In the end we missed our ferry by 5min and had to wait an extra hour. This travel wasn't smooth at all and we could not even check whether we were at the right stations because there is no info about it. We only knew we would end at Nathon Pier.

First part (hotel pick up in koh samui to Krabi) was great, driver was really friendly and turned up on time 👍, Then when it was time to change to another bus In Krabi town things went a bit awry. Delayed connection in Krabi for 2 hours. Sitting around the tour operators office waiting for another bus. Then operator didn't give us our ferry tickets so had to buy them again to complete the last leg of our journey

We missed the first ferry we were supposed to take, having to wait one more hour more at the pier. Unnecessary when the trip is already very long. Other than that an okay experience.

Great overall experience. Maybe the A.C in the bus shouldn't be that strong, otherwise I had a great trip

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
