Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Tour with Thai. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Tour with Thai Top Destinations
Tour with Thai buses ply a number of routes and here is the list of some of the most popular ones:
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

We took the VIP bus from Sukhothai to Bangkok and had a great experience. Everything was clean and comfortable. However, I would suggest adding more departure options. The only overnight bus available left at 9:00 PM and arrived at 3:00 AM. We would have preferred a later departure—around 11:00 PM—so we could arrive in Bangkok at a better time (like 6:00 or 7:00 AM). Because we arrived so early, we had to pay an extra fee at our hotel just to check in early and get some sleep instead of wandering the city at 4:00 AM.

The bus was in bad condition and, when the first intermediate stop happen, the driver told us that we has 30 minutes. After 15 he told us to jump in the bus and he was very insistent and I was not able to finish my meal (paid with my money)

The bus was really a VIP specially made vechicle. It had only seven rows of comfortable first-class airplane-type of seats (three per raw). The seats could be reclined so as you can sleap, if you so wished. There was a relatively large personal tablet-size screen for each seat, which you could connect to Netflix and YouTube!
Our journey was an excellent experience and we did not feel tired from our eight hours journey.

Took the bus from Sukhothai to Chiangmai. Time is an estimation since this was a stop and not the start of the line. 50 min delay and from what I gathered there, delays of up to 2h are usual. Besides that, everyone was polite and kind, bus was pretty ok and they even gave me a complimentary wáter bottle and a small snack. True local experience.

Bus was very late coming in, but took much less time than expected to arrive at destination. The biggest issue was collecting tickets. There are a lot fewer people who speak English in this area and the booking confirmation was only in English rather than also in Thai. They seemed to assume that all westerners want to go to Chiang Mai and kept sending me to the wrong collection office despite me trying to tell them we were going to Phitsanulok. Eventually someone with a little more English was able to help. I can't blame them for not speaking English, but it would have helped if the booking confirmation had also been in Thai.

Bus wasn't very comfortable for such a long journey. One of the seat belts was broken, but nothing the driver could do to fix it. Aircon was barely working.
It stopped once for a lunch break after about 2.5 hours, but then didn't stop again for the rest of the journey.

Paid extra for the "VIP" bus. Yes the seats did recline a lot but maybe too much - the seat infront of you will be touching your legs (even if you are not tall)
Like many other people have said, the bus was absolutely freezing.
The driver stopped for constant cigarette breaks but refused to let passengers have even one break in over 10 hours. I asked a couple of times could I get off for 2 minutes as I was too cold on the bus but the driver was very rude and just kept shouting no and waving in my face.
We arrived just about on time but could have arrived earlier if the driver hadn't stopped so often for his own personal breaks, or he could have let the passengers off for 10 minutes at some point to break up that cold and uncomfortable journey.
There was a "meal" provided but it was a lucky dip microwave meal from 7eleven, no vegetarian option.
None of the staff could speak English at all so trying to get any help was very difficult.
I tried to contact 12go for support but that was also a huge waste of my time.
Honestly i would save your money and go for one of the cheaper buses - this was definitely not a "VIP" experience.
