Phuket to Khao Sok Destination Reviews

The trip was fine, the bus was comfortable. The location of the bus terminal wasn’t clearly stated on the ticket. The company gave us coordinates and a picture of a muay Thai school next to the bus stop instead of the actual bus stop. We also had to change to a van after 3 hours which took about 30 minutes so that wasn’t great. But overall in was fine.

The ticket showed coordinates WHO ARE NOT INACCURATE!!! DO NOT CHECK IT. The taxi brought me to the bus terminal 1 in Phuket. Because he also got confused by the coordinates . Somebody came to me from a orange booth and told me which bus I needed to board/go to. She told me with google Translate that the bus would go to Takuapa en then transfer on a minivan. It is a local bus. So it stops like everywhere and picks up locals and if you sit in their booked seat you need to stand up and move. In the bus I asked when there is a stop so that I could go to the toilet, because I drink a lot. The lady told me "whenever you need to go". I needed to go and then it was a problem. Fortunately I prayed and they stopped somewhere with clean restrooms. However I needed to run "quickly madam quick quick". So I ran, did go to a toilet for disabled people and fortunately had my own toilet paper with me. But no one in the bus was bothered so I do not know why I needed to run and sweat so much (mind you ; everyone was on board at the starting point, but the bus driver talked soo much and left 25 min later. I mean my stop to the toilet was 3 min. So how can I be the problem??) Then at Takuapa I could go to the another toilet (I drink a lot) and the driver dropped us three somewhere in Khao Lak. He told the other two that their hotel was a 2 min walk away. To me he said 10 minutes!! I had 2 suitcases , bag and needed to walk uphill like it was nothing. I am sorry, but I was sick that day (fever, cold, Medicine) so yeah was not great. The people from my accommodation could have picked me up (they wanted to), but I paid the driver 50 baht, because he wanted to bring me if I paid him. But 50 baht is not so much. So I am not complaining. Everything went smooth, but yeah next time have some minutes when people can go to a toilet. Especially when they are sick or due to health problems (idk) need to drink a lot. Because in my other 3 hour or less drives the driver always included it.

The finding the bus experience was poor But the actually journey itself was smooth We were standing on the side of the road had to ask all the buses that stopped if they were our bus Not even sure if we did get on the right bus but we got brought to Koh sok anyways Rang the company multiple times no answer Was very confusing

The booking service was good, but the description of the pick up point wasn’t helpful. We waited at a wrong place, because this was the coordinates. Overall we booked a transfer which takes 3 hours and 20 minutes. Because of this timeline we picked this offer and payed a little bit more. Sadly we are over 4 hours on tour, because we drove with a bus which seems to stop every 10 minutes to pick up or drop off passengers.

We didn’t get a adress, only the coordinates. So the taxi couldn’t find the departure address.

Besides having to wait for 25 minutes, the commute was smooth. I was put on the bus instead of a van, but that was ever better - more space.
