Oleg LUnfortunately, nobody told me when to get off even though I told them several times where I need to go. I had to take a taxi back to where I needed to go (about 25km of a detour)

Ekaterina When I came in the bus with cup of coffee driver started to yell in Thai on me. As I understood later coffee is not allowed inside the bus. But there’s no any warnings about that. I saw only the stickers about fasten the sit belt in the bus. And was no sit belt in my chair.

Reetta PI was afraid that in Ekkamai it will be difficult to find the correct boarding pass office and the correct bus stop, but no ! Process was smooth and easy because I got proper advices - already before I had even asked anything :-)
Bus driver also took good care of that I will step out from the bus in the right bus stop.
No toilet on the minibus.
No place for big bags - fortunately I had two bags ( small one and medium -sized softbag), which were ok on my lap and between my legs. Plane cabine bag is the max size I think. If bigger, they suggest to buy an extra seat for the bag.

Philip WI booked for Chaam but the chaufeur never notified me when going through Chaam . A couple of Thai passengers were dropped at a stop of their choice along the journey . But there seemed no official stop in Chaam. Thinking we had already gone through Chaam on the main road to HuaHin I asked the driver to stop which he did in the middle of nowhere . It is a good thing I had a friend living locally to come and pick me up .

Saritza BThe staff are very nice, but the station is very hectic. Bus delayed. When checked in, not given the correct information about the luggage space, and not clear when booking either.

Sonja FLeft about 10 min late, but toilet stops were efficient and I got to my destination only 10 min late! Very small seats though, be aware.
