What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Nara Travel?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

To start with, the ferry journey was good. Unfortunately the organisation when arriving to transfer to the bus wasn't great. Then the bus journey itself was 6 and half hours with 2 breaks for food. Why should 1 should be more then enough. On top of that we made various additional stops along the way picking people up and dropping off. This was supposed to be a service direct not a local bus service. Maybe if the organisation was better then the bus journey would run better.

Meeting point at Phantip's office in Koh Samui is pointless. They just issue the ticket and make you walk to the pier. Could be done with a small table at the pier directly. Secondly and unfortunately the ferry could not be boarded through the ramp but everyone had to walk with the cars and drag the heavy bags+luggage upstairs two flights. Thirdly, the total trip time exceeded the estimated time by quite the large margin. The bus stopped twice for toilet breaks - which was appreciated - but also at another bus stop which was not planned before. So it took much longer than envisioned.

The drive was good but I was brought to a completely different bus stop than in my booking. This happened twice so. Both times instead of walking from the supposed stop I was several kilometers away and had to take a taxi to the hotel.

The bus was good, then there was a car with our name waiting for us, that was good too. The bus was very slow… we stopped so many times to pick up and drop off people and things. We turned around several times and dropped more things and picked more things up. What should have taken about 1 hour 15 mins took 2.5 hours.

We arrived safely, but the trip was very chaotic. After the ferry first shuttle, then minivan, then big bus. The big bus was full and not very comfortable, quite old. Dinner was free but everything in plastic, so it produced a lot of trash.

The Ride itself was comfortable. The ferry was outdated but still perfectly fine. We then waited at the Pier to be picked up by a shuttle that brought us to the bus. The Bus was luxurious for Thai Standards, we had USB C outlets and reclining seats + we got a free meal and watermelon in surat thani. Would do it again.

Excellent first part by bus : on time, blanket and snacks included, confortable seats. Then comes the minivan, every driver will scam tourists prentending the final stop is at Khao Sok main road entrance and not the park entrance (as mentionned on the voucher). They ask you 50 THB/pax more to drop you to your hotel (only 2km further on the road…)

Overnight bus from Bangkok was fine, although no air con, WiFi or electric points as advertised. At 5am we were dropped at a point but not told why or the plan. At 6am we were spilt into groups and put in taxis. We were then transferred to 4 other taxis between 6am and 7am at different points of the city before finally being brought to the port at 7:55am, ferry departed 8am.
