Hua Hin to Phuket Destination Reviews

Didn’t go straight from his him to Phuket. Stopped at chi rep (or something) and transferred to a van for an upcharge of 600 baht. But that was OK because the guy dropped me right at my hotel. All in all a good trip.

i purchase a tickiet that says its a straight ride and there wasnt suppose to be a Bus + Van set up but the travel company at the Hua HIn Stop told me they do not know nothing about but they dont go stright even though my tickiet says 1 bus ride only, there was also otherscustomers asking why are they switching to van when their tickiet said 1 Bus Only. I was place in seat 30-31 there was 2 Young man who clearly thInk they was high manitence they kept pushing their seats so far back it injured my knee , ( I WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND THEY PURPOSELY PUT THEIR SEAT ALL THE BACK TO WHERE I COUKD NOT NOT SIT AND TELLING ME TO GO TO OTHER SEAT AS IF THEY BOUGHT MY TICKIET . I WAS NOT GOING TO ARGUE .) I did not pick any other random seats because i wasnt sure if they are for other pay customers THAT WILL COME ON ONCE WE START TRAVELING . I was force to go down on the 1st ground where the bathroom iS WHERE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE JUST ME BY MYSELF ) the lights didnt wrok and it smelled like so much dust and i have to endure the smell of a very stinky bathroom for many hours sitting by myself which i didnt mind but i purposely paid for the most expensive bus thinking i would have a smooth ride since thier was so many good reviews but it was awful and i was very disappointed. i want my refund. I am not sure if i will take this comany again the driver didnt care to slove the issue or the tickiet lady i was basicly ignore and im truly disapointed.

The bus was nice, comfortable and clean. Staff were great, kindly woke me up at 2:30am when I arrived at my drop off point. The bus had charger for my phone on my seat, good leg room, reclining seats and clean toilet. Staff provided water and snacks, the trip took roughly 10hrs to arrive from Phuket to Hua Hin, left on time at 16:30pm from Phuket.

It was all in all ok, but picked us up 1h later than the scheduled time and consequently arrived late. I was going from Hua Hin to Phuket, and the bus only stopped once after 2 hrs, probably to give a break to those who departed from Bangkok, but then no stop anymore and honestly that was too early stop for who started in Hua Hin and too long with no stops until Phuket, at least another stop was necessary. Yes, there is a toilet on board but it's not a great option, one more quick stop would be much better.

The journey itself was great. Comfy bus, very clean. Dinner voucher included. Snacks and bottled water. But: We were supposed to leave at 7 pm. At check in we got told that the bus is full and we got scheduled to a 9 pm bus that had half an hour delay. So we waited 2 1/2 hours and arrived therefore late.

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.
