The First Van was 30 mins late. After a 10 min ride I switched into a bus to Surat Thani. There was a 30 min break before I got onto another bus that took us to Bangkok. Overall it was comfy most of the time but actually sleeping was quite hard for me :( The last ride had blankets and you could add a Upgrade for 200 THB

Other than major discrepancies in advertising the trip, such as no mention of a Van from Krabi to Surat Thani and the 2 hour lay over in Surat Thani...Once on the bus it was a good trip. There were quite a few trips advertised that mentioned the van and bus combination.

Overall experience was fine, efficient and comfortable enough. we even had a meal. Make sure to really be there an hour prior to departure as for both our journeys (round trip) the bus left 10-15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. The real con though is the fact that the bus did not drop us off at the station we booked, we booked our arrival at Bangkok Hua Lamphong Station and the bus went straight to Khao San and asked everyone to get off. This at 4AM is just not it..

The bus was supposed to pick me up at 15:30, however it did not show up. I tried calling the number on the ticket and no one would pick up. At 17:30 a bus shown up and it was mine. It seemed super unorganised and if the bus is supposed to show up at 17:30 not the time stayed on the booking they need to change it or let customers know. Other than that I had no issues with this service.

The bus is ok confortable and run on time. Only one stop at 23.30pm at a restaurant/shop for 30min. I wish was told the meal was included on the ticket (you have to exchange it for a voucher). Arriving at 4am at a different location than mentioned on the voucher was no fun.

The Van to the Bus had a broken AC, so it was 30 C° for the ~2 hour drive. The Bus was nice, but nothing special compared to other VIP Busses and definitely not worth the 200 THB higher price. Also arrived with a significant delay of ~1,5 hours in Bangkok.
