Bangkok to Koh Tao Destination Reviews

JS
8.30 PM leaving BKK, VIP Bus: Comfortable chair and short break around 2:00 AM: 20-30 mins after 5 - 6 hours of Driving. - Use this opportunity to go to the toilet there. Using the Bustoilet is not recommended. - 2 hours waiting at the Port (Places to sit, Foodcorner) at 5 AM that’s why I dont give 5 stars last step: almost 2 hours with the ferry to Koh Tao

Perfect. The vip bus was comfortable and the journey was great. You wait one hour at the pier and then you take the boat. No problem at all.

Everything went smoothly. The bus didn't stop for 6,5 hours. But there is a toilet on the bus. Straight road to the south so no fear of getting sick. Highly recommended!
