從華欣 到合艾的巴士

Hello! I bought a night bus ticket with the goal of spending the night and safely catching a big bus to Hat Yai. First, I waited 40 minutes on the highway for a passing bus to pick me up. And this is where the story should have ended. But at five o'clock in the morning the bus dropped off all the passengers in the middle of the village and went back to Bangkok. After waiting another hour, at an unknown location, they placed me and my luggage into a small minivan. As a result, we made a circle, stopped at a gas station, after which the car returned to where it left, after which the driver refused to go. After waiting for an undetermined amount of time, I was put into a small tuk-tuk and taken to the bus station in the nearest town. Where I still had to wait for a long time. As a result, they put me in another minivan. They demanded that I pay money for the ticket, although I had paid everything in advance. They refused to provide proof of payment or a new ticket. So we had to drive for another five hours. I bought a ticket for a VIP bus and was not warned that I would be woken up in the middle of the night and forced to shake in a small car, holding my luggage so that it did not roll around the car. I also got seasick in the small, shaking car. Paying for VIP, I expected a different attitude. While the workers were moving my luggage from car to car, the entire suitcase was worn out. I have photographs of all the transport and a boarding pass for the first bus I paid for, which did not take me to my destination.

The pick up point lacks any identification or instructions and the bus was late and did not have operable power outlets
