Pattaya to Koh Samet Destination Reviews

FF
The service was extremely disappointing. The operator was an hour and a half late, and I was put in the back seats of the van where there wasn't even enough legroom. Furthermore, the people with me who weren't in the van paid 450 baht for their seats, while I paid 730 baht. Very disappointed, I was then asked for an additional 200 baht for entry in Koh Samet, even though it was clearly stated that this was already included in the ticket price. It's outrageous. I will never use this company again if I can avoid it.
