What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Phittinin Transport?
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.
scheduled minibus driver didnt tell that tyre had a problem but kept driving. on the way, he decided to replace types without telling passengers anything .... and took 30min break at some bus stop. he might have already known all.
spent one more hour than expected arrival time.
recommend travellers take van or bus operated by tour operator, not by public scheduled bus.

Some chaotic organization of the trip, they sent me 2 times to the wrong pier on the way back and let my 2 yo daughter under the sun for almost half an hour. On the way to Ban Phe the bus had no shock absorbers basically.

Mini bus service was so horrible. The driver's safety behaviors with operating the vehicle, routes management, he talked on call whole 4 hours, we had car broke down moments as well as unsafe bumps along the way, he stopped at many gates along the way too. However, speedboat service was alright but we were not asked to wear life jackets.

Driver was not professional!
He stopped for a while chatting to his friends on the main road ( he needed a break but it was not like a motorway convenience) stop
He drove erratic, shouting to himself and people on cars outside was cutting from
Lane to lane or outside lane.
We could not believe our eyes.

Driver delayed the trip several times stopping, getting out and disappeared leaving us with closed door for whatever reason. Thus it took almost five hours to reach the pier. When some travellers asked for a toilet stop he reacted grumpy, gave us five minutes. At least one toilet stop should be granted.

Very uncomfortable trip. We left at 1:30 PM and arrived at 5:30 AM. The driver did not slow down at speed bumps, and since I was sitting at the very back, I was literally bouncing off my seat every time — it was painful.
The air conditioning barely worked, and it was extremely hot inside the minivan. Stops for gas and toilets are understandable, but the lack of slowing down and poor AC made the journey really unpleasant.
If you have a choice, take a big bus instead of a minivan — it’s much more comfortable and you won’t feel every bump.

Bad. Good thing was that we arrived. But the Bus was packed, with very Limited space and very small seats, luggage in between the seats that you Had to climb over them to leave the Bus and worst Thing we're "privat?" Breaks and negotiations of our Driver to Pick Up or Delivery additional packages. He left for 30 minutes in Front of the Bus without any Communication in the Bus

I have paid extra money for special treatment, as I have medical condition, I have back and spine problems. There was no assigned seats and I had to seat at the back, the ride was very bumpy which lead to my spine hurt.

The boat wasn't there at the time it should. The other boat driver told us, it would come 1 hour later. Unfortunately we had a ticket which included the bus to Bangkok. Our own company Phittinin had no staff at the pier.
The employee of another company was very helpful and organized, that we were able to
use another boat without extra charge. This was very kind, the boat trip was good.Everything else of the trip with the bus of Phittinin worked perfect.

First our bus was broken so we had to switch buses.
Then we made a very long stop next to a random road with no proper toilet
So this resulted in us being delayed with a hour we were supposed to arrive at 17:00 and we arrived at 18:00

We booked a connection departing at 12:00 from Ekkamai. We arrived in advance at 10:00. But the woman there told us that the bus is full and we have to wait until 14:00. What? We booked our seats online in advance. How is it even possible that you sell more tickets for a connection than how many people can actually fit in. We payed at your website and the price was about 100 baht higher then if we bought it at the station. So if I pay a higher price I expect also higher service. Not to wait for a connection which departures 150 minutes later than what I booked. Yes we departed at 14:30 even though we booked a connection at 12:00.

Asked if we could leave the island earlier, and that was no problem! Same friendly busdriver aswell
Seats very narrow and space was tight. The bus sounded like it was going to break down any minute. Very bumpy ride. Need to upgrade the buses before I will consider to come back.

The bus stopped at many places before Ekkamai so it took a lot of time on road. Other than that it was fine.
The bus is 1,5hs late, no sign, no explanation. No seat number. The driver is rude. The bus is not as on a picture. Instead of big comfy bus we got tiny minivan, where none of us tall Europeans ever felt comfortable. No legroom at all, so we slouched all the way there, 3,5hs. The driver was stressful, unnecessary fast and reminded us more is Mad Max married Fast Furious and they had a crippled child.

The journey was due to take 4 hours in total . The bus driver was making great time but unfortunately made a number of stops for his own reasons and therefore delayed the whole journey. Not even sure what the stops were for as he would disappear off and then reappear but we would all be left on the bus. At one stage he ripped off what looked like a bus permit .
We made three stops, one stop was 40 minutes where we did nothing, just waiting for no one 😡

The bus was so tiny. I’m not a big person but could barely fit in the seat. Also, is was very bumpy the whole ride. When we arrived at Ban Phe where the boats are to take us over to Koh Samet, the people stressed the hell out of us. I had to go to the pharmacy 1 minute away from the check in counter and they said the boat doesn’t leave before 15 minutes, but one minute later they rushed us to the boat. They drove us on a scooter to the pier where the boat was, and when we got dropped off they asked us to “hurry hurry hurry”. It was not a great arrival, felt super stressed for no reason at all.

We booked a 7 am bus with the plan to catch a ferry to Samet at 11 am. At 7 am no bus was in sight and was told the bus will only leave at 7.30 am. We ended up leaving the station only at 7.45 am. The staff on duty was not very friendly either. We ended up missing our ferry and took the speed boat instead.
In addition to that the condition of the bus is very poor..not very clean looks outdated, not well maintained and makes a lot of noise.
Overall had a bad experience and wouldn’t recommend it.
