The bus was very cozy, good AC. But no food at all provided even though it said it was included in the price.

We booked the VIP bus and paid extra to have food, snacks, and Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi wasn't working, and we didn't get any food.

Firstly we were very confused at the minivan station in Khao Sok, because the staff was very unfriendly and unclear with Information about our journey. But the rest went perfectly fine, we hat more than one hour for changing in Surat Thani. Boarding for night bus startet early, and we were also perfectly on time.

Overall, a good trip, however, waking up at midnight for dinner was pointless. Please schedule a stop around 9:30 or 10:00 PM before everyone is asleep!!! Furthermore, the employee on the bus wasn't very friendly and forced me to sit in front of the emergency exit, and my seat didn't recline properly.

An unexpected meal was provided prior to departure from Khao Sok, perfect fuel for the journey ahead! Bottled water was also handed out, keeping us hydrated right from the start. Our bags were stowed securely below the bus, but there was plenty of space overhead if we needed quick access to snacks or essentials. the seats were incredibly comfy, like mini beds on wheels, making the overnight haul to Bangkok a breeze. cozy blankets was provided The bus came with WiFi, but we totally spaced on asking for the password. No biggie, though—we zonked out the whole way through the misty hills and highways. If staying connected is your jam, just flag down the driver early! Each seat’s backrest had built-in screens with audio jacks for earbuds, The bathroom’s down on the lower level of this double-decker beast and stayed surprisingly spotless the entire trip. That said, if you’re not a fan of onboard facilities, the driver pulled over for frequent rest stops—ideal for a quick bathroom dash, a smoke break, or snagging food box provided . The crew was fluently English announced , so we always felt safe and accounted for. All in all, this TravelBusAsia ride from Khao Sok to Bangkok was a total win—we’d absolutely book it again to stretch our baht further for treks or temple hops. Go one-way by bus for the adventure, Highly recommend!

On the ticket it was only mention one bus but we got two ride. The first shuttle left us in a small convenient store hold by the bus driver. Couple hours later, we were driven late to the bus to Bangkok. The first driver told us that the bus wouldn't be able to leave us at the station because of the close road but 1km away. In the morning we were told to leave the bus more than 3km away from the initial taxi and take a taxi

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.
