Very comfortable vehicle (we had a VIP minibus); the seats transform into beds, and we slept all the way. Also, a blanket, a small snack, and water are included. Excellent passenger management at Chumpon pier.

They were very efficient and their system worked well. The bus had one stop on the way down to the boat and had a toilet on board, good aircon, having more room between me and the seat I front would have been nice but otherwise an efficient journey

Check in at Lomprayah Bangkok (Khaosan Road) the buss was comfortable (decent toilet considering it’s on a buss) and I would have slept the entire way there is they didn’t make a 30min stop turning on all the lights and waking us up, so do bring a really good sleep mask and earplugs because that stop was completely useless. We arrived at the ferry terminal and had time to eat and even take a quick shower. No complaints about the ferry!

Really good service and smooth journey. Bus was surprisingly really comfortable! Only loses a star as I did think the 2am wake up for a food stop was unnecessary on an overnight bus
