Cheap and on time - Not exactly luxury travel but as expected, picked up bang on time in a van that looked it had covered a couple of million miles, dropped at a central depot / station and piled after 45 minutes in to another van this one looked liked it had only done 1 million so it was half as bad. At the station we were sold the return trip at 500baht per person. Constantly hassled to pay an extra 100 baht each to be dropped at the resort which we had to decide on there and then - decided not to and as it turns out Palm view where we were staying offers a free transfer. Took about 21/2 hours plus a 20 minute stop at a service station. But all went smoothly, we got there and back. We were also hassled a bit on return as were going to Koh Lanta the following day - we wanted a nice hotel over night rather than do the full trip which would have been 6 hours travelling. Told the ferry we had booked wasn't running and we would definitely have problems and the only way to get there was by their van. that all went smoothly - they just want to get as much out of you as you can so just say you have everything sorted and organised and they will leave you alone. Would use the service again as it worked and was cheap .... just be aware of the 'up-selling' they try and do.

Easy to book in advance - The service was easy to book in advance however it was very inefficient and slow. The pickup in Krabi was right on time but then we were taken to the bus depot where we waited another hour before the minivan left. The 2 hr+ travel time starts when it leaves the depot, so really it took 4 hours...

Extra costs - The ride itself was good and what you can expect from a transfer. When we where picked up from our hotel to go to the meet up point with other travelers the boss/owner(?) of the company came up to us, asking where we would stay in Khao Sok. He told us to pay extra 80 bath per person right there to bring us to our place of stay (at max 5 more minutes driving). These extra costs were never mentioned in the description. Others had to pay 50 bath per person for only 2 more minute driving to their stay.
