It was the best bus trip in Thailand so far. The vehicle was really VIP. The seats were so comfortable that everyone could really sleep well. Blankets, food and drinks were distributed. Gladly again

It was confusing at times, I felt like I didn't know what will happen next with the delay to the bus, changing of bus getting a new ticket, getting a mini bus getting on a ferry, felt like a lost sheep 🐑.

I really can't recommend the "extra service" offered by the lady at the Bus terminal, where the customers get their ferry tickets. Taxis and other transportation is definitely available at the ferry and way cheaper than the 200 Baht per Person she charges. Otherwise pretty good service and helpful staff.

I went to Koh Samui, the process was not very well organized, because after the bus we were simply dropped off and offered to pay for the transfer to Koh Samui separately so as not to wait. But that is not all. I was forced to buy a return ticket to Bangkok, without which they simply did not give me a boarding ticket for the ferry to Koh Samui. I had to make a decision about when I need to return within one minute, as the bus to the ferry was already waiting for me to board. In general, the greed of organizers knows no bounds.

Many stops We have to wait more than 1 h before to take another bus to finish the travel UP to the ferry. Some other company are doing a complete travel Bangkok koh Samui with the same bus witch is more useful ;
