We booked at the last minute in order not to have to worry about the connections between the train, the taxi and the ferry and it worked well. The communication through WhatsApp with Van2Go was excellent and really helped us get there with tips and advice so that our journey was good.

The bus itself is relatively comfortable, although they were blasting the AC which at some point got quite cold. There is enough legroom, reclining chairs and charging outlets. You get a small water and a little snack. There is a toilet which is very helpful (no paper though so bring your own). What was unpleasant is that the bus arrives at 3 am to the port and the ferry is at 7 am. It would be much nicer if the bus left at 10 pm from Bangkok so we don’t have to be woken up in the middle of the night and wait for the boat.

The trip went smoothly. Most of the time we traveled on a bus and last 2 hours on a ferry. The bus is comfortable inside: seat with a table.

Everything was perfect. Clear instructions, the bus was clean and on time, and the waiting time at the pier (2h) was enjoyable. Absolutely recommended.
