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.

The people at the desk didn’t speak English and put us on an earlier bus that stopped at a different boat pier. We then had to walk. Since they didn’t speak English they did not explain that. The bus was making al kind of noises and didnt feel save

There was some confusion at the pier between the transfer from the bus to the speedboat. But it was sorted out quickly with no further issues. All in all the experience was a great value for the money, and I would recommend it.

J’ai mis 5 étoiles car pas de retard, les chauffeurs serviables, à l’heure et les bus confortables MAIS svp investissez dans des amortisseurs j’ai plus de dos je dis ça pour les chauffeurs, ma tête était à deux doigts de toucher le plafond. Ça n’en reste pas moins très pratique et peu coûteux.

Abysmal. Our three-hour bus ride started an hour late (this is understandable, given Bangkok traffic and other factors) but then took four hours, mostly owing to the inevitable collection and drop-off of additional passengers at off-route spots. At one point, we waited on the shoulder of a highway after our driver inexplicably disappeared, eventually to be replaced by another driver (shift change, perhaps). So many stops!
All of which led to our missing the ferry leg of our journey. We whipped out the PDF, naturally, and this got us ... Nothing. Had to purchase fresh speedboat tickets

Very good. But seats are not numbered. Van departed 40 minutes later than time scheduled on 12Go. Nobody told me anything until arriving at 12, I look the ticked exchanged at the booth of the company.

Because the Bus was way too late, about 1,5 hour and we missed the last ferry in Ban Phe that was to bad. We hat to stay in Rayong overnight. But the Bus drive was ok and the Bus driver was friendly. It was just about the Bus was much too late.

It was hard to find the bus check-in location outside Ban Phe Pier premises.
But I was able to get off at BTS Onnut station instead of Ekkamai bus terminal.
Thank you:)

I have travelled a lot from Bangkok to Ban Phe and it has usually been by what we call in UK a Minibus, which can be a little cramped. However this is the first time I have used this company and found it reasonably priced cost in GBP around £9:00. The trip took just over three and a half hours which again was not too bad. I plan on using them again to go from Ban Phe to Ekkamai.

We booked a mini bus, a sim very tall. We got a mini van , (exactly what I didn’t want )
The driver was fairly rude, shouting at cars out of the window, ( and at one poor passenger who didn’t know whether it was the correct bus for him , mainly because it was a van, not a bus )
Hustled at the other end to buy a return speedboat ticket, which i didn’t need, but she lied about the prices…
The journey was fine because ethe passengers were nice. The driver drove like. A lunatic (another reason I didn’t want a van, as they usually do in my experience)

It was a good experience, the temperature was a bit too low in the mini van. I had to wear a jacket.
I do think you should also be able to pay in cash, because my creditcard was not coming through at first. A different browser did the trick but otherwise I could not have booked a ticket. That's weird.
The driver should be able to understand and speak basic English related to his job. My driver couldn't.

Getting tickets to Rayong was fine, except we were downgraded to a smaller van than the original bus we had booked and payed for. It was more difficult on the way back, the people at Nadan pier at Koh Samet seemed confused about our 12Go booking and we waited an hour for a boat, which should have taken 20 minutes.

Cela c'est plutôt bien passé. Le véhicule était en bon état et assez confortable avec des chargeurs de batterie devant chaque siège. A la fin, le chauffeur nous a fait attendre au moins 20 mn dans une station d'essence et est reparti très en colère et il conduisait brutalement.

Bus Minibus, Phittinin Transport, Dec 10, 2022
The bus was easy to find - I just showed the lady my phone and she gave me the ticket and told me to go to number 15. The driver of as very nice but the bus was actually more like a van, was super comfortable and there wasn’t much room for my monster suitcase (but that’s on me). The only thing I had a problem with was once I got to the pier, I realized I didn’t get my ticket for the boat from the lady so I had to pay for a boat ride and there was almost no room. In fact, there wasn’t enough room so we had to wait for the next boat and it was really hard to get my big suitcase into the boat but we did it all in all. It was worth it because it worked, was on time, and it was super cheap to get to a remote island.

Bus Minibus, Phittinin Transport, Dec 2, 2022
The ride took at least 1 hour longer than expected, because the driver kept stopping at places to pick people up and drop them off. It said nowhere that the bus would stop at all these places. One place was even quite a detour from the fastest route (on google maps), so we had to turn around and get on the correct route again, which took at least 20 minutes.
The bus is okay, if you are lucky to not get the last row of seats, which are 25% smaller than the normal bus seats. There was airco and usb points for charging. The bus also didn't go faster than 80 km/h so this slowed the journey down too.
It's too bad that taking a direct taxi is 10x more expensive, otherwise I would recommend that.

Bus started in time, bus was clean and well maintained; driver did a good job. Only the communication at Ban Phe could be improved. We had to wait for about 30 minutes and had no information at which time the ferry/boat will leave - but finally we arrived 👍
