Everything running late. The ViP buses are a joke and the snack was a sad biscuit. Long waiting times between buses and ferry.

Be prepared to suddenly get thrown out of the bus and wait for a few hours in the middle of the night for a minivan to bring you to the pier and wait again until your ferry departs. Some thais unfortunately just don't care about courtesy. Besides that- comfortable bus and arrived at the destined location:)

Toilet was disgusting all the way from Bangkok for around 10hrs travel. We chose vip and there were people sleeping on the floor and around the bags, the WiFi doesn’t exist and you stop in a very limited local restaurant.
