It’s a long bus ride, but it is convenient and felt safe. The bus stopped one time for 20 minutes after 6 hours.
The bus terminal is very big and so my recommendation is be there early.

Trip was excellent except for the boarding point confusion. You have to trust Google maps. See the photo of the street. As Nara travel is inside a Hotel. Very well behaved drivers n the tour guide
The seat i was in was broken. De backrest just fell down sometimes wich was very scary while sleeping and the feetrest couldnt get up. When i asked for another seat they said all seats where booked, but one chair was only used after the first 4 hours of the trip..
Super comfortable seats.
Break around 0000 o.clock
Good Journey felt super Safe.
Comunication could be little be better for information during Journey.
Will do it again
The VIP bus was comfortable and we had a lot of room for our legs and even bags. We got a blanket, a snack and water.
They asked us in the beginning, where we want to get dropped off, so maybe you can tell them a closer location to your destination and you can get off earlier.
We left punctual at 7pm and arrived 12 hours later in Krabi. We felt safe during the trip and we still made sure that our valuables are not in our luggage but in our bags with us.
It can get confusing at the terminal in Bangkok because there are many buses and you don't really know, which one you have to take. So we just asked people there and they showed us the right bus.
We made one stop at 10.30pm to get food and we didn't get any information in English. But we figured out where to get the dinner that's included in the price and that the break was 20 minutes.
The overall experience was good, the sleep we got not so much, but that's part of it :)
the trip was nice but they try to overcharge for a leg of the trip I didn't request for. I bought the ticket to Krabi and after I got to surat thani, for the connection, the lady asked where I would go after Krabi and simply told me to pay her 250 for this final leg of the trip. I didn't request this service, didn't ask how much it was, and even after I said "no", she said "then how do you go?". be careful with scams.
First of all, lovely trip. Can absolutely recommend. BUT the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok is the worst for foreigners. We had to ask tons of people because we couldn’t navigate at all. No exact info about the Bus Terminal (there’s two!!) Once we reached the bus, with help ofc, we enjoyed the smoothest, most comfortable bus ride ever. We had a bit of a delay (2hr) but nothing we didn’t expect.
Lots of space for our legs (book the seats at the end!) and even a water bottle + a few snacks. Would absolutely do the same over again, with a knowledge of the right bus terminal :P
Oh and don’t forget a sweater cause the ac in Asia is crazy cold. You do get a lil blanket tho.
Very easy to find and checkin, the bus was on time. I would recommend to take a hoodie with you as it gets colder during the night. The AC is not possible to turn off - still if you’re prepared its absolutely bearable. We got some snacks and small water bottle. Overall a nice service!

Very nice staff, not much space but it was ok, loved the place where we stopped and got free food. But I couldn’t turn off the fan above my head so i got cold.
