What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Sombat Tour?

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.

Unfortunately I got the very front row. Very uncomfortable as there was no place for my feet. Was not able to sleep even for one hour.

Very good thank you. I requested 12GO to reserve my seat but they said they couldn’t guarantee my request but when I got to Sombat my seat was reserved. A message to 12GO, people want to reserve their seats sometimes, so come up with a better solution to allow people to choose. Sombat tour bus station is very comfortable, the bus was clean and it left on time. The bus left at 4 pm and sat in Mo Chit until 6pm, I am not happy about adding time to my travel. They told me they would leave at 5:15 pm? Something list in translation may be? Altogether, I am happy with 12GO and Sombat tour.

The tour was excellent. We arrived over an hour early in chiang mai, check in was simple, seat comfortable and they provided a blanket. The toilet in the bus was CLEAN and worked! If you know flix bus in Europe this is 1000 times better. They gave water, and snacks. You can charge your phone on the bus and they do stop during the night for food at a restaurant. No internet on board but that isn’t promised either. They do turn off the lights during the night

Everything was good - timing, the snacks, temperature controls for each passenger. Only thing is, one of the drivers over night was driving very rashly. I think there was another driver in the morning and he was driving a lot better. This why I give it 5 instead of 5 stars. My rating is not impacted by this - The road to Mae hong. Son is windy and steep in places. Please carry motion sickness pills. This

However there should be a way to select the seats, it should not be random as I was travelling with my wife so we wanted to be together however the system put us separated without any access to change the seats after issuing the ticket

The bus was a bit old, but it was easy to get around on, with a footrest and a leg stand. It would have been better if there had been a map or other instructions to explain where we could stop and how to do so, since it was our first time.

Nice welcome at office, staff speak english. Old bus very unconfortable, suspension so hard, lot of vibrations impossible to rest! Driver stop 4 times but never say anything so finaly i went out to restroom ...Ordinaire buses take same time to Hia in, nothing was Vip on that trip!

Comfortable ride. Bus was on time. Temperature in the bus was oke, just dress warm. It would be nice if the bus driver would inform us what was happening during the trip. Oke I was informed that we would make a stop in between and we could have something to eat, but the driver did not tell for how long or where to go. Same with the drop offs. The driver did not tell us at what location we were. You just have to ask yourself and keep track of the location of the bus yourself. But it was a nice comfortabel ride.

Controls at my seat did not work nor did the seat-back entertainment. Could not really sleep so defeated purpose of VIP overnight bus.

Big seats and they provided a blanket, water and a snack. Especially the blanket was good because of the AC. Recommended

Quiet bus ride, comfy reclining chairs way more space than you’d get on an airplane and only 20 mins late arriving so good vibes all round. Aircon was pretty cold so would recommend bringing an extra layer even though blankets were supplied

The journey went well, the only downside is that the air conditioning in the buses is at maximum. When will the drivers understand this? It's a pity because the bus is pleasant.

Was a bit cold at night, you should wear long clothes when you go on it. Also note, halfway there is a stop, with you ticket you can get free food inside the building.

There was a strong, disgusting smell of shits and pees from a bus toilet coming in waves during the whole ride. That was the only thing that blown our minds and noses. Food was good enough, but we were confused about how to get it properly because English communication affordability was weak enough. Seats were really comfy, had usb chargers, however lights on a top pannel were not working and that was freezy enough because of air conditioning. And the last one thing is we bought two tickets in one purchase and finally got them separated. The bus was half empty and there were enough double seats to book for us.

Fifteen minutes after leaving we were stopped at another station, they made us get off the bus and wait for an hour and a half before leaving again. The bus smelled of urine. It was not a good experience.

The trip itself was really great, the bus is very comfortable and big, and you get a free water and a free snack. They also give you a blanket, since it gets cold from the ac. The problematic thing was changing the voucher to a real ticket, you have to do that in advance at the sombat tour office, which is around 2km away from the bus station. This is not mentioned in the voucher and if we didn’t read about it in the comments, we would have not have known. The sombat office at the bus station was empty, and it seems it’s permanent, so you can not change it there. The ticket includes a meal coupon, which was also not mentioned anywhere, besides in other traveler comments.
