Great service, everything explained before departure together with complimentary food. Very nice bus, the travel was comfortable. They gave me all the information also for changing busses to reach my destination and there were people on the spot to help. Highly recommended!

Bus ride from Bangkok to Surat Thani was good. However at Surat Thani it wasn't clear how long we would be waiting for our next transport. Operator at Surat Thani was also trying to get us to pay extra to drop us at hostel and refused to tell us the how far it was from bus stop to hostel - "no time to tell you, 100baht. Too far to walk". Turns out it was a 2 minute walk, and there were also some free taxis at the other end...

There is a 50 baht more to let you at your hôtel but all the hôtel are just 10 Walk away from the bus station. Futhermore if your hôtel is to far they wont drop you in your hotel .

We did a lot of research on the different options for this trip and we are glad that we ended on this company. We did expect the worst when we arrived at the bus terminal, with that in mind it was very pleasant. It helped to know that it is very common to do a lot of stops to pick people up and drop them off again, and to read the lines that said be prepared for at delay from up to two hours.

We had before no informations that we have to change the bus to a minivan. At 5 o'clock we have to wait two hours on a van station. The minivan was so small and also the baggage was in the van and full with people. Really bad. Everybody don't know it before that we have to change to a minivan...

Only issue was that it looked as if the trip was a direct route from Bangkok to Khaosok which was thenreason we chose it over train. Yet we had to change to minibus which wasn’t very comfortable.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Khao Sok, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
