Creat bus operators recommended We were with my girlfriend on the bus from Bangkok to Surat Thani with TravelBusAsia and then on Ferry to Koh Samui. Great expierience overall. Comfy seats, great staff, water and one meal was given to us as well. You can even make yourself a coffee or tea on the bus. Driver drove safe and fluently. The toilet was on the bus as well in case someone is wondering.
