Bangkok to Ranong Destination Reviews
SP
Scott PBe aware the arrival time on ticket is for the final destination of the bus and not for the stop you get of. We arrived in Ranong at 4am instead of 7am. Would be nice to know that beforehand. Especially when the taxi drivers at bus station can be quite forceful. Police officers are also present. There are hotels right next to station that are open during the night.
Other than that the bus was comfortable and the ticket functions as a food voucher at the stop. The toilet on the bus was disgusting.

Daniel Very helpful and friendly staff. Plenty of leg space. The climate control was not too cold. Quick meal was included. We arrived at destination even earlier than scheduled.

Amelie HThe VIP-24 bus was quite comfortable for sleeping although some of the seat components (e.g. footrest) weren't functioning well. What was rather confusing and troublesome though was that the seats advertised on the website were not available (I was contacted after booking that onlz VIP-32 seats were available) and that I couldn't reserve specific seats. The departure time was also one hour later than advertised and communicated by email. And then to my positive surprise, when I picked up the tickets at the bus station I was able to upgrade to VIP-24 after all. Confusing... The stewardess on the bus was also rather rough and slightly unfriendly.

Victoria BBooked from Bangkok all the way to Koh Phayam island! We booked the 17pm bus and the website automatically booked us the 10am travel from Ranong to the pier for the 11:30am boat.. the owner of the tour company called us & said he could move us to the earlier bus from Ranong 6:30am & the earlier bus 8:30am so we weren’t waiting around! Everything super straight forward & nice, free water, jam sandwich & juice, also a really good bus for the price, can stretch your chair out into a bed basically! I would 100% use again!
