Very good

Pay more, get less with “GO Family”. We booked a trip to Southern Terminal in Thonburi, but they put us on a van to Mor Chit. Luckily, we were able to jump off on the other side of the main road, but the post on 12go is misleading. Bus station service staff were rude and unfriendly. Driver was a nice guy, but he accepted a kitten delivery, so everyone on the van had to listen to a kitten crying for its mommy, until it fell asleep one hour later. Next time, pay less and get more!

It was fast and on time. Very worth the price, remember to take an extra seat if you have a big bag/luggage.

The operator (Driver) did not let myself and my friend know where to get off. He began shouting and was very rude to my friend. She had no knowledge where and when to exit the bus.

1. The operator was called Kanchanaburi Express, but it is in no way an express bus. It stops dozens of time between the destination for people and packages. 2. The ride was announced 1 hour 50, but once you complete the reservation, the tickets estimate the ride taking 3h. That's just false advertising. Either way, the ride ended up taking 4h, and there were no traffic involved, so I can't imagine how long it can take during rush hour. 3. The seats are excessively small. I'm 5'3" (1meter60), and couldn't cross my legs by lack of space. They're also uncomfortable. 4. There's no space for your luggages (neither overhead or in the boot), if you have a travelling backpack or a rolling luggage, I strongly suggest you buy a second seat. 5. Some people were embarked as there were no remaining seats available. They were in the alley, holding themselves onto the benches and invading personal space as they had nowhere to go in the tiny cabin. 6. The Mochit mini-van terminal has no clear indications once you arrive there. There's no WiFi available. The illegal taxis and tuk tuk around are charging double/triple the price of the course. To get a legal taxi, you need to cross a highway to get to the main bus terminal. All in all, it's a cheap option, but far from a good one.

The bus was really comfortable and had snacks, the seats were really spacious. Everything was on time. Overall it was a really good trip! The reason we knocked off a star was the transfer in the middle of the trip that we didn't know about, so we got rushed off the bus and had to quickly gather our things. Also, all of the announcements were in Thai so we had no idea what was going on. When the operator saw we were the only ones left on the bus he spoke English to tell us to get off, so it was possible that he could have told us when he made the announcement. Otherwise we felt the service was fantastic and have no complaints. Note to non-Thai speaking folks - when you get to Bangkok Station, you will need to go to a ticket window to get a paper ticket. The window they were trying to direct us to was out in front of the station but this was not obvious with the pointing. You go there first to get a paper ticket, THEN you go out to the bus platform to catch your bus. We almost missed our bus because the area people were pointing at looked like the seats, so we thought we were being told to wait there. We used Google translate but sometimes it's difficult if people don't use it in return. We hope this helps!

Just got off the express train from Don Muang to Chang Mai ,great experience. Very well organised at the station and very helpful staff who make sure you board the train at the right carriage . Once on board food orders are taken and delivered to your seat . Air con is cool but the blankets provided are warm enough .Beds are made up at around 8.30 pm and most people were settled for 10...breakfast and coffees served from 6am. Great experience will use again .

The bus driver drove very unsafe. And spoke almost no English. The bus stops several times which made it difficult to know when to get off because the driver did not speak English this made the process difficult

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.
