Bangkok to Hua Hin Destination Reviews
DG
Diane GWe set off on our journey and within 200 metres the driver pulled over and stopped as there was a pinging warning sound. He started the engine again and set off still with the warning sound and an awful what can only be described as, electrical burning smell coming through the aircon system. We all put masks on to try and reduce breathing in the fumes but the smell continued for about 15 minutes and then the warning sound just stopped and the smell dissapated. This happend again, when the driver had to stop at a designated place to hand something over. It was the same sound and smell for about 20 minutes ,but we did make it to Hua Hin on time and the bus was both comfortable and clean. Our concern here was that we had twice breathed really bad fumes in a confined space.
We are going to the sombat bus station today to put in a complaint and hopefully they will give us some info and clarity on what the problem was and what we had been breathing in.We use this bus everytime we come to huahin and return back to bangkok on it and have never encountered this issue before.We still gave 5 stars as acknowlodge that the driver probably was unaware of what was going on inside the bus as he is in a completly different blocked off cabin to the rest of us.

Ian TRead the fine print. When they tell you they have no room for luggage, they really mean it. Unfortunately I didn’t notice until after I booked and was unable to cancel. The driver had a minor accident with a Grab rider and we had to wait by the side of the highway for about 90 minutes until the insurance company showed up. As a result, our arrival was late. Accidents happen but there was no communication and the bus company didn’t send another mini bus. I would avoid this ride.

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
