Bangkok to Phuket Destination Reviews

OB
Comfy bus with blanket and we were given some food/ drinks. Also stopped off about 3 hrs into the journey at a food hall for a complimentary meal. Was a bit late arriving into Phuket but this didn’t matter for us. Driving was smooth and safe. Only problem was two small cockroaches we saw on board. Other than that it was generally clean

had a very unpleasant experience with the lady at the counter desk. She was rude, mean, and went as far as making inappropriate comments about my country. Her behavior was humiliating and unprofessional. Such actions are unacceptable, and I hope the management addresses this immediately to ensure better customer service in the future.

The bus arrived on time and the staff were friendly. They gave you free drinks (1 bottle of water and a juice bottle) and also a little snack. They also stopped a few times so you could buy something. The seats were comfortable and you got a blanket. The only problem was that the air conditioning was a bit too cold. However we arrived on time in Phuket. 👍

I was skeptical because I couldn't find recent reviews. The buses were flawless.

Simple Transport to Phucket, No problems. Check-In was easy even thought most staff did not speak English. Bus was on time leaving. It was an older bus, but sufficient for travel. Seats reclined. Leg rest went up. Charging port worked only for the first half of the trip. We were given a snack bag with cookies, juice and water to start the ride. Stopped about 11pm at rest area with enough time to use restroom and eat. Bus ticket is your food voucher and included one meal from anywhere in the food court. We made it to Phuket about 6:30am not 4:30am. But I expected that after reading reviews and planned accordingly. Bathroom on bus was 1 star and would avoid if possible but you gotta do what you gotta do. We made a lot of stops along the way but they were quick hop on hop off for people. The AC was freezing and you can’t close vents so I stuffed with toilet paper so the could air wouldn’t destroy my head. It worked, mostly. Over all no real complaints, we made it safely. Would book again.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?

Things to remember: Note that some of the airlines may have restrictions on checked luggage weight or require paying extra for check-in, choosing seats or transportation of oversized luggage.

If opting for a flight, calculate the time you will spend getting to and from the airports as well as the waiting time before your flight, getting through immigration in case of an international flight and recovering your checked luggage.

In certain cases all these procedures can add no less than 5 hours to your total travel time.

Taxi

Some travellers consider taxi to be the most convenient form of overland transport thanks to flexible departure times, a possibility to choose the size of the car you need, and a hassle-free door-to-door service.

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 Phuket, 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.
