Even after it is written that we need 22kg of baggage, they took 159 baht more.

All was very nice, but the roads felt little bit strange. We jumped a lot, but the driver was very good.

The van left 1.5h late due to too few people booked (but that was a lie as it pulled into the terminal full of people just before we got it) it was obsiously just late from the previous trip. Driver drove like he stole the van. Literally no one overtook us on they way, we were faster than everyone on the road. Seat belts in the van are not 3point and will most likely kill you in a crash.

Good bus, everything was clear, driver was in time. But they take us fees for extra luggage while the bus was empty only 8 people in a 30 bus seats… bit annoying because plenty of space.

Trip from Phuket Bus Terminal 2 to Surat Thani Town on Nov 4, 2024 Bus left perfectly on time. This journey was very pleasant. This bus was clean & comfortable.The bus was of medium size and fairly empty. Driver stopped for a toilet break at the halfway point. We could have booked a cheaper option by purchasing tickets inside the bus terminal, however this rate was reasonable for peace of mind.

Wrong arrival location. You are not arriving at the night boat pier. You have to walk 15 min to get there

Well, I went to terminal 1 of the airport but it was at a busstation and that took a half our extra and we missed our drive. We had to pay again for an other bus.Thats the reason for the bad rating, not the drivers fault but 12go didn't explain clearly.

You are sitting on a bus for a few hours, but it is as comfortable as its gonna get. The bus was on time and I was even able to take one bus earlier, because I was there to early. That was no problem for them, quick and friendly service!
