What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Suwarnphum Burapha?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
-
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
-
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
-
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
-
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
-
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
-
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
-
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Wlodzimierz KTransport delayed about 2,5 h (planned arrival 19:00 vs 21:30), mainly because of a lot of chaos during departure from Koh Chang (changes of minibus, additional transport to hotel -> ferry -> bus station -> hotel -> ferry, at least we leave a ferry after 1 pm). We feel shaking rollercoaster on every hole and speed bump. A lot of water from air conditioning.
I propose to take transport to Airport and then BTS train to everywhere else.

For the price this trip is a bargain in Thailand. The driver did not speak English but was very friendly and myself amongst other passengers could translate for him. The bus itself is in rough but working order. I was never truly uncomfortable (as you might be on local rural buses). Most importantly the air conditioning always worked, and we were never in physical danger. The first pit-stop seemed to happen pretty early into the trip and was a somewhat long 30-minute stop. The second stop was a 10 minute break at a gas station/convenience store about 1 hour from the reaching the ferry terminal. Both places had restrooms, some food options, and amenities.
Considering the driver will in most cases drop you directly at your hotel, the price is very reasonable and the price margin between this and the next step up is a large gap, unless you have healthy budget and want to travel alone.
Two recommendations: 1: Sit in the first seat directly behind the driver because you'll have maximum leg room and be the first person off-the-bus as pit stops. 2: Wear a mask. Many customers were coughing and a lot of germs spread around. I caught a cold on this bus and had to spend the first 2-3 days on Koh Chang sick in my room.

Isabel KVery easy way to travel from Bangkok to Koh Chang! Lovely driver, there is not very much leg room in the bus (but I am 6ft so its probably okay otherwise) and they dropped us off right at our resort! Will use again and 100% recommend to anyone travelling this journey!

Sandi LThe Driver was excellent - thoughtful for his passengers, explained times clearly. He concentrated on the driving, with very little time spent on his phone while driving
I rated "Great" overall because the van, while good, did struggle over holes in the road

Hollie POn time, very straight forward and nice driver. The bus was tiny so a little uncomfortable but generally an extremely smooth trip! We stopped for lunch 1 hour into journey. Bus goes onto the ferry and driver drops you off on the other side up to a certain point. If you are staying anywhere 15 mins (approx) beyond the pier you will get a taxi for 50 THB which is waiting for you when driver drops you off. ☺️

Anthony RThe minivan we had, was really bad. It was one of the worst 4-5h ride we had from our 6 months travelling.
The minivan had 0 suspension, literally every 2 seconds we were bouncing. We both had an upset stomach.
Also the seat of my gf was loose, not fixed which made her ride even worser + dangerous (as the minivan was full she couldn't change).
** I have a video of the bumpy ride and photo of the loose seat that I could send
Besides that the driver was nice and friendly and the restaurant where he stopped was good.
I also think the bus shouldn't have stopped that much on this short ride. We stopped at least 3 times (15 min after 1h, then stopped 30 min for lunch, and then 1h later again 20 min stop). We could have spared 30 min easily.

Alisa HSafe journey with a good driver who aimed for a rest stop with various restaurants. This meant that everyone was able to find something to their liking. The only thing we were unhappy about was the long delay at departure, as we wanted to make the most of our time on the island. We would have liked some information as to why we waited for almost an hour at the airport in Bangkok, even though all our fellow passengers were already on the bus. If we had been given transparent information, we could probably have expected more understanding from the guests.

Alisa HA perfectly safe journey, although we wasted a lot of time on the way. We took our first break after less than an hour, with the information that this was a short toilet stop. So far, so good. Once we were all back at the bus, we realized that our driver had gone to get a hot meal and eaten it on the spot. So we strolled around the service area and stretched our legs. We then drove on, only to take another break after a while, again with the words "toilet break". Same game as before, our driver ate another hot meal. This time, however, there was no opportunity to explore the rest stop, so all the passengers stood by the bus and waited for the driver. In the end, it took us 7.5 hours to complete the journey, which should have taken 5 hours. So not only did we use up the buffer we had included, we also added another 30 minutes to the delay. A great pity, as you want to make the most of your time on vacation and enjoy it as much as possible.

matthew WLeft the airport at 11, arrived in good time for the last ferry. The driver also dropped most people off at their resorts, bear in mind if you are staying towards the south of the island you will have to take a songthew for the rest of the way.
The company arranges this for you and I only paid 50 baht to Lonely Beach.

Franca-Sofia FWe left on time from the airport and made 2 stops. Operator&Driver were friendly. We got dropped off directly at the reception of our hotel.
Could be improved/was not so great:
- A couple on the bus had to be dropped off at the Laem Sok peer which made the rest of the group being 1.5 hours late for arrival (because we made that extra round of driving to the other peer). I understand it is more efficient for the operator but not for the customers. The couple also was not dropped off at their hotel like the rest of us.
- Bus quite bumpy. Distance between seat rows small for someone who is taller than 160cm. Not the mist comfortable trip
Overall good value for money. 4/5 Stars

Solange JThe service on the site is perfect! On the other hand, the Celio of certain drivers needs to be reviewed ... doing personal shopping is still fine, but stopping without explanation for an extra 45 minutes to repair a radio and only 1 break in 9 hours is not great ...
not to mention other worries ...

Edwin PThe ride was cool. Driver did his job well and we had two or three stops to get food/snacks/drinks or a toilet break.
He even drove us to the parts of Koh Chang where our Resorts are located. That was really nice, didn‘t know that this was included!

eunju SI expected to leave at 8 o'clock, but I waited for an hour for a bus without driver. The person in charge didn't come until 9 o'clock.
almost arrived at the destination, driver started stopping to drop people off. Maybe another hour's delay
It took about an hour and a half to get on the boat.
It says that will arrive at 2:30, but I arrived at the hotel after 4 o'clock.

LISA MPick-up from CK residence was late and we left 30-45 minutes after initial departure time.
Minibus was relatively comfortable for me, 20 seater with AC. My husband who is tall (6’2´´) found the ride difficult as not enough space for his legs.
Road is quite smooth and not bumpy as I was expecting after seeing other reviews.
Driver was extremely friendly and nice.
Overall service during ride is good and stress free. Short stop on the way for toilets/lunch. Really appreciated that minibus goes on to the ferry and then drops you off at your hotel on Koh Chang.
