Ao Nang to Bangkok Destination Reviews

S
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.

They change pickup time without informing anyone. but I contacted them and they told me that they have delay so I should wait to 4PM. Even at that time no one showed up I tried to concated them again but no onr answer anymore. I have to be in Bangkok before 8AM next day but no more bus so I had to book a flight and after almost 3hours from normal pickup they called me but i already bought a flight ticket 🙃. So far this is the worst operator I have seen. Also i contacted customer service after sending them the screenshot of our discussion they told me they will check with the operator then respond to me but no one responded 🙃

We booked a van + bus transfer from the Ao Nang McDonald’s to Bangkok. The pickup time was 15:00, but neither we nor another man who was waiting for the same ride saw anyone arrive. We called all the phone numbers listed on the tickets for situations like this, but no one answered. The first minivan that stopped for us arrived at 16:10. We had been standing in heavy rain waiting for the ride since 14:30. When the driver finally came, I asked if this was the correct transfer to Bangkok, but he just waved for us to get in. We got in, and we also told the man who had been waiting with us that the ride had finally arrived. There were already other passengers inside, and the driver dropped them off at their hotels. He didn’t say a single word to us during the entire time, so we just followed the route on our maps to see where he was going. Along the way he stopped by the roadside several times — to smoke, to use the toilet, to get fuel, to pick up more passengers — yet he still didn’t say a word to us. After many hours of driving, we ended up in Surat Thani, on a dark side street. The driver got out, opened the trunk, and still didn’t say anything. We assumed this was where we were supposed to get off. A kind woman there told us that a bus to Bangkok would arrive shortly. This was a huge relief, because up until that point we had no idea where we were being taken. The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we eventually did make it to Bangkok.

big comfortable bus. I have no complaints. Everything was within the normal range. There is a transfer in Surat Thani. If you are coming from Bangkok and continuing to Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi, etc. you will have to be transferred to a minibus. The procedure is the same if you are coming from some of the mentioned resorts. The departure is by minibus, after which you will be transferred to Surat Thani on the big bus. I am satisfied with the Travel plus trip.

Supposed to be "VIP bus" so I was expecting a bus with only 3 seats per row, where you can recline the seat to almost 180°. But the nightbus from Surat Thani to Bangkok was not so confortable...
