Arno STerrible experience!
(Trip Bangkok Ekkamai to Hua Hin by Bus on 1.12.2025, 12:00 a.m., Booking number 12GO24709463, Operator: Nor Neane Transpot)
We arrived early at Ekkamai bustation and got the possibility, to take the bus at 11.00 a.m instead 12.00 a.m.. When we got to the bus, we found the driver sleeping on the steering wheel. When he got up 15 minutes before departure, we saw an elderly man looking terribly bad, almost sick, and tired. I am a doctor and can see such things. When we then had a look in the drivers seat-area we found a dirty place with a lots of things lying around, it looked like the sleeping place of a homeless person. Also the part for the passengers looked dirty and in disorder. By seeing that, we decided not to drive with this man, we were scared.
We waited for the bus leaving at 12.00a.m..
What we than experienced was even worse. The driver was a young man, properly dressed, but very hectic and unfriendly to the waiting passengers. Finallly he got us on the bus, but in unfriendly way and always in hurry.
Then we started and after 5 minutes almost all passengers were irritated or scared, because he was fighting in traffic for every 10 meters with full accelerating and then, after a few meters going also fully in the brakes. He changed lanes as often, as he could. So we were thrown forth and back in our seats all the time. If children would have been on board, I am sure, they would have vomitted.
After about 1,5 hrs. he made a stop at a garage, because there were some problems with the tires or the wheeels of the vehicle. He didn´t say anything to the passengers and did not open the door for fresh air or maybe going outside. After about 5 minutes waiting inside a few passengers begann to knock at the window, to get the drivers attention to open the door, but he didn´t react at all. Finally a man used the honk of the vehicle, to get his attention. Then the driver was angry and complaining about us, but opened the door.
After a few minutes he suddenly came back to the bus and wanted to start immediateley. It seemed, that he didn´t care of one person being still outside and only by shouting at him and having a hand on the door, another passenger could prevent him from driving away.
Many passengers were unsatisfyied with this trip and we were glad, to come out of the bus in Hua Hin.
If you want to give the company feedback, here are the numbers, we found in the bus:
It´s difficult for us, to understand the numbers, because it´s all written in Thai, what Farangs can not read.
driver (we think): 00251/66
vehicle (we think): 16-8677
another number, we don´t know the purpose of: 978

Diane GWe set off on our journey and within 200 metres the driver pulled over and stopped as there was a pinging warning sound. He started the engine again and set off still with the warning sound and an awful what can only be described as, electrical burning smell coming through the aircon system. We all put masks on to try and reduce breathing in the fumes but the smell continued for about 15 minutes and then the warning sound just stopped and the smell dissapated. This happend again, when the driver had to stop at a designated place to hand something over. It was the same sound and smell for about 20 minutes ,but we did make it to Hua Hin on time and the bus was both comfortable and clean. Our concern here was that we had twice breathed really bad fumes in a confined space.
We are going to the sombat bus station today to put in a complaint and hopefully they will give us some info and clarity on what the problem was and what we had been breathing in.We use this bus everytime we come to huahin and return back to bangkok on it and have never encountered this issue before.We still gave 5 stars as acknowlodge that the driver probably was unaware of what was going on inside the bus as he is in a completly different blocked off cabin to the rest of us.

Alex PThe ride was from IKEA. At 16:00, I had no information about the car or the driver. I wrote support, and they helped quickly, but anyway, it took some time to find a driver in a huge parking area. Sure, there is also my fault because I didn't specify the exact place, but I've never been there before, and it was hard for me to choose the right direction. So I expected that somebody had contacted me just before the ride. It would also be nice to get a photo/short video from a driver when he arrives, so I can find him quickly.

Ian TRead the fine print. When they tell you they have no room for luggage, they really mean it. Unfortunately I didn’t notice until after I booked and was unable to cancel. The driver had a minor accident with a Grab rider and we had to wait by the side of the highway for about 90 minutes until the insurance company showed up. As a result, our arrival was late. Accidents happen but there was no communication and the bus company didn’t send another mini bus. I would avoid this ride.
