Operator changed location (they moved their office) but we didn’t get notice until night before. We were asked to arrive very early like 90 minutes early and it felt like they put us on an earlier time bus but one with more stops so later arrival time. Bus said it had WiFi but we couldn’t find it by name. One of our cabins had working usb power but our other cabin did not. All of those were minor inconveniences but is the reason for not 5 star review. Otherwise bus was clean, cabins were very comfortable, bus driver had great communication, and we enjoyed our overall experience.

The bus was very comfortable. You can rest during the trip since the seats convert into beds, and there are curtains to block out the light. It has enough space to lie down fully stretched out (I’m 1.80 m tall). We were given water, and the bus made stops where you could buy things. I didn’t take the overnight bus, but if it’s this comfortable, it wouldn’t be a bad option for sleeping.

Equipe não sabe se comunicar direito. Ônibus em condição duvidosa e o motorista dirigiu olhando para o celular vendo jogo de futebol e depois série durante todo percurso.

We had booked a normal bus but were put on a sleeper bus for the trip. The bus left on time and was quite comfortable for the 4 hours. My partner who is tall found it a a little short for him. There was someone at the station

I believe we were issued used blankets. The bus smelt of cigarette smoke. We arrived over an hour late. Staff just took the rubbish from the bus and placed it on the street

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.
