I have traveled with 12Go many times and it is always a great experience. This time I took the regular bus because I didn’t see the VIP available and I’d say the VIP is FOR SURE worth the extra money. Don’t be cheap here if you’re traveling a long distance, you will very likely be miserable if so :) esp if you are a guy with long legs.

Checked in over an hour early, they weigh you luggage then sit it outside until the bus arrives. went smoothly, fans inside made the waiting bearable. (limited seating inside) glad we checked in early because an hour before departure it was so packed and chaos… Bus was pretty dirty on surfaces (lingering smell of toilet- sat upfront and was not noticeable) seats were very comfortable and we were able to get good sleep. Wait an hour for ferry, ferry boarding went smoothly- comfortable seats, clean toilets, fans. Delayed arrival due to ferry stopping at another island with no notice?… Staff could be more clear at times, overall good experience.

I really liked how well organized everything was without big delays. I found the seats not really comfortable to sleep, because I have a little longer legs. Still I'm glad I got to Koh Tao for that price.
