Bangkok to Phuket Bus Terminal 1 Destination Reviews

EM
The journey took 3 and a half hours longer than expected so was very long. Also we only stopped once. But we did get a free meal when we stopped and water and a snack while driving. I’d recommend taking some snacks and water with you

We were on the bus for 15 hours, and only got one stop at 11 o’clock which we weren’t told would be our only stop. There wasn’t much food there at all so couldn’t get lunch or anything to keep for dinner. Started at 6:45am and got there nearly 3 hours late at 9:30pm to Phuket, missing what we had planned that evening. The time needs to be changed for this trip as all the reviews say it’s 2+ hours late so clearly isn’t a one off.

We had one break around half way through the trip where we had the chance to buy food and drinks. We arrived on time but I felt unsafe at times as the driver was driving quite fast. My seat was comfortable and the AC was working, we even got a small bottle of water and something small to eat (croissant or something). My seat neighbour's seat belt wasn't working, which I found pretty careless. The service woman seemed extremely annoyed and uninterested.

Easy to locate from bus terminal in Bangkok and was quite comfortable, we were given snacks and blankets along the way as well as a 30 minute stop for lunch time, however we did arrive 2 hours late into Phuket which was fine for us as we hadn’t pre booked a taxi or transfer, can’t fault it just a very long journey
