I booked 6am bus. The bus arrived at 6:30, departed at 6:40. So, instead of arriving at 8am we arrived at 9am.

Upon arrival at Surat Thani train station, we were intercepted by staff wearing 12Go Asia T‑shirts and were led to a different meeting point under misleading pretences. There, we were pressured to order food, which we clearly did not want. When we declined, the staff became unfriendly and started ignoring us. Despite several attempts to communicate, our questions were simply left unanswered. Only after asking passers‑by did we learn that the actual bus station was in a different location, and we ended up catching the bus only at the very last minute.

The bus was on time, and there was plenty of room for our luggage. At the station, there was an employee who asked for our ticket and then informed us when the correct bus arrived. Excellent service.

Cheap and cheerful. Some confusion on arrival. Booked a 6am bus online but buses didn't start running until 6.30am. Luckily we didn't have an onwards connection as bus was then 45minutes late.

- The pdf given GPS coordinates did not really reflect true Meeting Point (but company related people were waiting in front of the Train Station, Guiding us to the Meeting Point) - bus was Old but working (more Enough Space for everyone) but the was no Chance to increase temperature by our own - Even There was no Dedicated trunk for our luggage there was no Space for the very few items. I Wonder what what Happen if everyone would be Traveling Big Bags?

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.
