Krabi to Bangkok Destination Reviews

Good bus, good seats, airco, blanket and I felt safe. Arriving at 05.00 AM is early, but after that traffic gets heavy so a good choice.

I booked a 16:30 bus, then few hours later in the night i got an email that the bus is full and I can go in other bus 30 minutes earlier. The conversation was confusing, but finally I accepted the terms. My place in the bus was very good on the ticket (plenty space for legs) but non-english speaking coordinator told me to sit elsewhere so a group of drunk british hoes could sit together and annoy everybody. I (100kg man) ended up with a seat on the window side with barely any space to move. At least the seats were alright and we had few stops.

We left on time but arrived an hour early. The steward was grumpy and didn't say anything about dinner options, so we had to explore on our own, for which there was little time. The bus was comfortable, a bit cold but bearable.

The trip started by van, traveled 2 hours north from Krabi to a town to get on the tour bus that took us to Bangkok. This was stop one, found dinner nearby. Tour bus was nice, AC and full as expected. Bus seated could be reclined well back for sleeping. Stopped again one last time at midnight for 30 minutes at a restaurant. Driving overnight was good as traffic during the day would have made the trip much slower. Time schedule was on time.

I felt the trip met my expectations. It was as good as it could have been for an overnight bus with seats (not beds). No complaints.

We were unfortunately in the two seats on the whole bus that didn’t have the same amount of leg room as the rest. The seat in front was so far back into our lap we had to be completely straddled the whole time. The seats we were in also had no curtain, nowhere to put our stuff and no charging port. Every other seat on the bus looked great and comfortable we just got unlucky. I wish the two seats would have been discounted.

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.
