Ao Nang to Bangkok Destination Reviews

The information says to arrive at 2:30 for a 3:00 pickup, we were not picked up until 4:30. We were jammed into a small van, which we rode for an hour. We sat four across because the worker squeezed in with us. The driver yelled at us. Once we got on the big bus around 8:00pm, it was fine.

bus from Krabi to Bangkok: I booked ao nang transfer to bangkok khao San road and the description said that we will transfer to different van or bus in surat thani and that is actually what is happening. The same van which picked me up also took us from ao nang to surat thani. The van driver from ao nang to surat thani was playing English pop songs on a display screen TV so that was a good entertainment as I never get to watch videos of the songs I listen all the time. We reached surat thani stop at 7:06 PM starting from 4:00 PM at my pickup. Bus started moving at 8:10 PM from surat thani and they stared boarding around 7:50 pm ish. Seats full reclining as expected and 2+1 structure so spacious. No wifi or atleast no password given. Blankets given but nothing else. AC was not too cold initially and later it was manageable with the blanket they gave. Bus dropped us few minutes before 5:30 AM. Regarding pickup, be patient and someone will come to pick up at your hotel. I was getting nervous because my time was 3:30 pm in the ticket but I was picked up at 4:00 PM so I contacted the Bangkok bus travel's Whatsapp number (I just tried the number given in 12goAsia's ticket and it worked and they replied promptly). No water or snacks were given which was fine with me. The bus stopped around midnight for less than 20 minutes at a big food court kind of area with really good and clean posh bathrooms. There were also bathrooms and food options to buy during the transfer at surat thani.

There was the wrong time to arrive to Bkk- instead od 6 am you put 12:30 am so made me to book the hotel for night which I could use. They take you by bus to Surat Thani and then change the bus. It's good to inform the client before about it. The vip bus to BKK was pretty good to sleep the whole night.

Lots and lots of stops to pick up other customers. Arrived on time, drivers safe and comfortable, but takes about 3 hours longer than just driving straight there.

The driver arrived on time, drove courteously, and the bus was very clean. It was a VIP bus that brought me to the bus station just in time. The WhatsApp staff answered my questions well and kept me informed of the departure time in advance. Throughout my journey, I had a very pleasant experience.
