Lea RBad communication throughout the trip.
The first part of the trip from Bangkok to Surat Thani is ok in terms of comfort. The night bus has reclining seats. But really poor communication, we don’t know where we’re going, don’t know if there’s gonna be a bathroom stop somewhere and what time. I think there should be an announcement at the beginning of the trip to explain the rough schedule. It would take about 30 seconds and would greatly improve the trip.
The second part of the trip is just a big shit show. No communication, we get into a van bringing us to one place, we don’t know why we’re there, we’re being dispatched into another van to go to another location. During that all time there is no time to go to the bathroom, or you have to fight with the people for them to wait 2 minutes.
Then we wait for another bus. There’s not enough seating space for everyone, so some people seat on the floor. Several people had to be dropped at the Phuket airport, we drop us at 45 minutes walking from the airport. And we need to pay for a tuktuk 150THB extra to get to the airport. That’s not normal, it was supposed to be included in the ticket. Overall 2 hours delay. Really terrible experience.

Jasmin AThe staff were helpful at the bangkok check in.
The staff at the stop over and bus change weren't great, poor instructions and a lot of shouting. Very unorganized and we almost missed the coach.
The bus driver kept stopping to talk to friends meaning we were over 3 hours delayed.

Andrea SWe ended up being 4 hours late to our destination with little communication on timings. The first bus was cramped, very hard to sleep in and we were only given a small bottle of water and a cake at the start which isn’t great for what ended up being a 20 hour journey!

Pierre MThe stewardess did not tell the other people to stop watching movies on their phones loudly. It is a night bus. The rest stop used to be in an AC hall with food served on the table. Now you have to queue some mediocre food with limited to 2 servings. Not at all the same as before. People stood outside the bus (farang) and smoked marijuana so when they came back to the bus it smelt bad.

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.
