We arrived at the Montanatip office at around 1730 and were able to check in and leave our bags. We returned at 1800 and boarded the bus. We drove until approximately half midnight, the driving was smooth and comfortable. The seats were pleasant, able to recline and presented with a blanket, water and snacks. At half midnight we stopped for half an hour at a roadside station to use facilities and grab a refreshment. The driver continued on until around 6am. At this time we split into different vehicles based on our end destination, we took a van to Krabi and transferred to a ferry here. We arrived at Phi Phi perfectly on time. All transfers included in price and happened smoothly. It’s not luxury but very convenient and great for the price.

The service staff were not friendly with us, the travellers, and did not speak to us industrially on top of that at the stop for the meal at around midnight. Nobody warned us that there was a stop. So when we woke up, there were only 10 minutes left and they didn't give us time to go and eat. What's more, we had bought VIP tickets with a drink, a snack and a meal. We did get a meal ticket, but we didn't get a drink and we didn't get our snack for a VIP bus. This one didn't look like it at all, one of us six passengers had the air conditioning leaking on him, we warned the staff, the service looked into it and said nothing, did nothing. The seats are very difficult to extend. This does not correspond at all to a VIP class.

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.
