5 Star VISA Runs

[Gerefan]

I booked with this company specifically because they said that they carry a maximum of 6 people in a luxury minibus with business class seats.

We drove around Pattaya and picked up the six people and set off. An hour later we diverted into Rayong (in the rush hour) and picked up someone else. Then we picked up a couple. We continued the tour of Rayong and picked up yet another passenger. Now there were 10 of us in this “luxury” minibus....which ONLY HAD 9 seats...and only 4 of those were Luxury.

Myself and another passenger specifically checked with the woman, when we booked, the number of passengers and were both told 6. I chose this company AND PAID 2800 Bt, which is well above normal, because it was supposed to be only 6.

The return journey also went all around Rayong dropping off those extra people so we didn’t get back to Pattaya until 5 pm. 

I have used this company once before, a few years ago but they have really gone downhill now. They used to provide free breakfast, free snack lunch and free drink on return. Now all we got is one bottle of water.

Same as many years ago in BKK. 3 of us came for a break and one of the guys booked a private bus bkk/pattaya.

Private bus got as far as the edge of bkk and pulled into a car park, we got off for a cig and it disapeared.

Ended up on a 20 plus seater for the rest of the journey.

There have long been warnings that smoking can lead to high blood pressure. Perhaps, you have identified part of the mechanism that explains this!

I used this Company recently,I booked the trip 2 weeks in advance,then a Thai friend paid the fee ,but did Not receive any receipt.

A couple of days before the trip I called to confirm the trip,the lady who owns 5star said she knows me that it’s all ok and she would pick me up at a place about 20 miles from where I stay.

I said that she must have me confused with someone else,and started to explain where I want to be picked up ,as I was mentioning it she had some sort of an episode just started screaming into the phone getting louder and louder ,I had to hang up.

I asked my Thai friend to please check that it’s the right address,when my friend called her,she said I had called her multiple times and was harassing and abusing her.All of which is totally false.

This women is either mentally ill,or on drugs.

Fortunately,my trip was ok,but I will never use 5 star again and I advise you all too stay away.

In the past this was a good company,this has changed.

Pattaya is a wonderful place with heaps of travel agents no need to deal with people like this.
