Pattaya to Koh Samet Destination Reviews

Info about Pick Up time was coming a bit late (0800 Info for 1130 Pickup) so WE we're a little worried. Van was there way ahead of time but offered to wait. Driver was superfriendly. Speedboat Service left noch wishes Open. Everything well organized and luggage was even carried for us. 10/10

The driver arrived late, I expected this as he had multiple pickups but checked on the morning to get a more accurate time and was told 1145, he arrived sometime after 1200. Then we went to Pattaya, he got lost! Finally picked up some more people there and left. Van was old and not in good condition, very bad gearbox, and he was a bad driver, at one stage he virtually stopped in the middle of the highway to make a call, presumably he wasn’t sure which exit to take, this is very dangerous. We finally arrived at the pier in Rayong after we were supposed to be in Ko Samet. He just waved us in the direction of the check in counter, very unprofessional. There we had a nearly 45 minute wait for our speedboat arriving well over an hour outside the advertised arrival time. As this is a service you do daily I would have thought your timings were accurate, sadly not. I hope the performance is better in the way back and this was just a one off.

The driver came later because of traffic issues, though I reached out by using What’s app and they kept me informed about the status.

I had an 11.30am pickup, messaged providers, the got back to me advising that transportation was minutes away, I thought it was a van, but turned out to be an aircon sedan with only one other customer.

Better communication when exactly the pick up would have been more helpful, but overall, pleasant trip, no delays and arrived time as expected.

Globally, it was great. 15 minutes delay to start and a car not in so good conditions but the driver was very efficient
