My charging port was not working. The drivers speak poor english, it was very confusing when we had to get off the bus to go get our ferry tickets

Great check-in. Reliable and very friendly staff. We take our hats off to them for all their hard work. Whether on the boat or during the long bus journey. The organisation was brilliant too. Thanks for everything

Everything good other than the place they choose to stop for a food break. Bangkok to Koh Phangan. Most other companies stop somewhere decent. Als

Everything was superbly organized and punctual. They even paid attention to the temperature on the bus, which was very pleasant. The only downside was that the pictures of the seats weren't entirely accurate. I'm 1.78m tall (average European height) and had very little legroom. But that's the only thing to complain about. Food and water were even provided. The team was very friendly and I felt well looked after.

Great well organised service! I would say for a true VIP experience I would have liked bigger seats with access to the USB charger, the gap was too small to get my hand in to charge my device and it felt a little cramped. I was not able to sleep on this service! I would choose this service every time if the seats were bigger….

WiFi was good, tvs in seats, comfy chairs, straight to my destination. They did provide a meal as we weren't stopping long enough for dinner but it wasn’t enough so I was quite hungry

Arrived earlier. No one explains you very well but seats were comfortable and process fluid. Recommend this enterprise.
