Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Rung Kit offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.
What are the Main Stations of Rung Kit?
Rung Kit operates buses to and from the following stations:
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.

They picked us up at Mueang Mai police station stop which was on the way so we didn't have to go the whole way into Pukhet. I called and messaged them in advance on Line cause I couldn't buy the ticket from that stop.
Good small bus with toilet. We arrived 30m later than scheduled but we weren't in a rush.

In the price-performance ratio ok. Despite Aircon as soon as the sun comes out a little warmer. 30 minutes delay. Staff not particularly friendly.

Bus left on time, but arrived about 1,5 hours later than expected (no taxis in Ranong at this time - so if you don't want to walk, organise a pick-up with your hotel beforehand). Took forever to get out of Phuket as bus stopped so many times. Other than that it was rather comfortable. AC was nice, but never too cold as you could regulate it yourself. Toilet and food stop about halfway.

The bus at 1430 is unfortunately not bookable via the homepage. Furthermore, the stations where you can get off for thais or for people who bribe the bus driver are where you would like. The bribe we have checked too late and are so only 15 minutes late from the bus were left. At the stops where the Thais are out we were simply not let off the bus.

The A/C was totally unable to compete against the heat, try to get a seat in the front as you'll have the heat coming from the engine room in the back of the bus. Wifi was non existant although advertised. Bus made many stops for locals and arrived an hour late in Ranong.

Bus was unsafe , no suspension. We we told we could get off at soi jw marriott . The driver refused to stop . We had to pay 800 baht to get back to where we should have been dropped off. Stopped plenty of times for thai people. Unhelpful and unfriendly.

We were asked if we would like to go earlier than booked as we arrived at the station far too soon. This was great for us. The bus left very promptly at the designated time. The bus was comfortable and the journey looked beautiful from our window.

It’s a long trip. The back of the bus is not air conditioned, you’ll stick to your chair with sweat in 39 minutes or so. WiFi also isn’t there. The bus is bumpy, and if someone decides to use that restroom the whole bus can smell it. But- the price can’t be beat. If you want to save money and have extra time, just psyche yourself up for it.

It is a pitiful bus quite destroyed with the air conditioning completely. He had to have the WiFi there on board and when we arrived at the bus, when we asked for the code they laughed well " the only WiFi, it was the panel(sign)!!! All the journey with a very strong smell of toilet?

The bus turned up on time. One star. The staff were efficient enough I suppose. Another star. Thats where it stops. The bus was an antiquated piece of junk with rust starting to come through numerous panels. Inside nothing worked, including our seat belt buckles (neither x 2) and the on-board toiler stank the whole bus out when used. It was supposedly an express service. It sopped constantly to pick up and drop off locals, so it was an hour late. Just a local bus.

Company seemed to have called our hotel near Phuket airport and told them, we should be 2hrs early at the bus stop as bus would leave earlier. Waited more than 3hrs, as bus left Phuket town 40min late!! Drive and reserved seats OK. Arrival in Ranong 2hrs later than schedule.
Seems to be more a problem of bus company (rungkit) than 12go.asia

You get water for free. And you won’t be at time, but that seems to be normal with these busses.

I give plus point to pick me up in the intersection from Pak Song (as I called them day before to pick me from there); but point minus for the rest of the service. They gave us water, but no snack (as it was advertised). When they stopped for WC pause, they stopped without informing us, so we eventually figured out ourselves that it is sort of break. No-one mentioned, how long the break gonna take, or if there will be more breaks... They have promised me me they'll call me taxi to the Phuket airport right from the intersection to the city, but they did not... they forgot to stop in that intersection at all; if not one English speaking passenger who reminded me THAT is a spot... I would have been just dropped off in the bus station, despite we agreed differently. Bus itself is average, a bit oldish but good. Service is under average, comparing with other bus rides I experienced in Thailand. Bus ticket is cheap, though. Do not expect much from this one.

A bit older bus, so comfort was a little outdated. But besides that the ride was fine.
Had some trouble with the ticket. We couldn’t transfer the mobile voucher to a busticket at the station. Maybe because it was early. The service guy in the bus didn’t understand our digital print. After checking twice and discussing with the driver he gave us a busticket.
