Trat to Bangkok Destination Reviews

Paul Great drive and arrived right on time. Driver could have been more informative at lunch stop and destination, esp for non'Thai speakers

Thomas Hthere were a couple of little kids sitting behind me who were noisy and kept playing around with the curtain and generally being annoying...
and although the bus wasn't driving slowly, it was about an hour late arriving at Mochit... maybe lost 15-20 minutes due to (predictable) bad traffic in Bangkok... but the schedule should represent a plausible journey time.

Oddmund TAll well up to Thailand border, after bordrecrossing we changed to a new minibuss. We had to wait 2 hours for two more passenger in order to fill all seats in the bus.

Neville FThis bus is a better option than the minibuses as you have more space and there's no luggage kept in the aisle, but it still isn't very comfortable if you are tall and someone is sitting next to you. Calling this an express bus is a total joke, the driver stops every 20m to pick or drop ppl or do whatever. This trip should have taken way shorter. The driver didn't even stop for a lunch or bathroom break until 4 hours into the journey. Going between Trat\Koh Chang and BKK is not worth it, there are no good options. Never will go there again.

Alexandra trip from Trat to Bangkok, so obviously the most expensive ticket, but unking lady put us at the last seats of the bus, which were the most uncomfortable. Asked to changed but no possible with stubborn lady. Not logic when other people step in the bus with less time to spend in the bus.

Milko LThe bus was comfortable.. even though the trip had alot of delay compared to the ticket eta it was a pleasurable trip. They provide 2 drinks and cookies on the bus.. the downside was a forced 20 minutes lunch break.. i did not expect that on a government bus and we arrived one hour later than ticket eta.

Anna HThis is not an express bus. The schedule says it leaves Trat at 10:00 and arrives to Mo Chit at 14:12 - that’s not true. It leaves at 10:00, yes, but stops in every town. We arrived to Mo Chit at 16:45, and there were no traffic jams.

ปรางค์กาญจน์ สน่าจะมีให้เลือกที่นั่งได้ เสียค่าตั๋วแพงกว่าซื้อข้างนอก แต่ต้องไปนั่งข้างหลังสุด ทั้งๆที่ว่างเหลือเยอะ แคบและเมื่อยมาก ผิดกับอีกแอปที่สามารถเลือกที่นั่งได้ ส่วนคนที่ไปซื้อหน้าเคาเตอร์กลับเลือกที่นั่งได้

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.
