About Sri Suthep Tour

Company Information

Sri Suthep Tour runs buses from its headquarters in Bangkok to a range of destinations around Thailand. It is based at the Southern Bangkok Bus Terminal, also known as Sai Tai Mai, and primarily services the south of Thailand.

Some of the provinces that Sri Suthep Tour travels to include Surat Thani, Trang, Satun, and Songkhla. It operates a range of routes and schedules and almost all buses are overnight services. You can choose from VIP and Express buses, and the main difference is that the VIP bus is equipped with entertainment options, meals, and a steward. Both buses have snacks, drinks, and toilets.

All the buses used in the fleet have air conditioning and have reclining seats. Blankets are provided and buses are also equipped with toilets. Sri Suthep Tour is known for its highly qualified drivers who have many years of experience to ensure passenger comfort and safety.

Routes served by Sri Suthep Tour

Sri Suthep Tour is based in Bangkok and focuses on a range of routes in southern Thailand.

Bangkok–Suratthani

Bangkok to Suratthani is one of the most popular south-bound routes in the country as Suratthani is a gateway to the islands of the Gulf, including Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao as well as a convenient transfer point for onward travels both to the destinations along the Andaman Coast and in the Deep South.

Note that there are 3 buses that leave for Suratthani at 5.20 pm. These however include both an Express Bus and a VIP Bus and tickets vary accordingly. For the Express Bus tickets start at THB550 and for the VIP Bus tickets are THB800. The journey takes 9 hours arriving at 2.30 am.

Suratthani–Bangkok

Travelling north from Suratthani to Bangkok there are departures at 10 am and 7.15 pm at a cost of THB500. The journey takes just under 11 hours. Passengers on the 7.15 pm bus should note that it arrives in Bangkok at 5.50 am.

Bangkok–Trang

Being one of the less explored southern destinations, Trang is a hidden gem of the Andaman Coast. Buses from Bangkok to Trang leave at 4.30 pm and at 7 pm. The former is the Express Bus costing THB600, and the latter is the VIP Bus with tickets sold for THB800. The journey takes 12 hours.

Pros

Sri Suthep Tour is known for being one the most experienced and has a good safety record with qualified drivers.

Buses are air conditioned and have toilets and reclining seats.

You can choose between an Express Bus and a VIP Bus for a small fee.

Cons

The main drawback for these buses is that they are slightly more expensive than many competitors, although this is also said to be in line with their higher standards of service.

Almost all buses are overnight services which mean you will arrive early in the morning which may not be suitable for some travelers.

The bus is equipped with air conditioning although it is often fierce so it is best to bring your own blanket or sweater.

Keep in mind

Although some of the buses are sold as VIP buses rather than Express buses this does not mean that they are similar in terms of cleanliness and service to VIP buses in Europe or other countries.

Buses often arrive at a destination in the early hours of the morning. Some passengers like solo female travellers may not feel comfortable with this and as such should consider other transport options.

Travellers reviews

There have been reports by passengers that the bus station in Bangkok is confusing and crowded. As such give yourself plenty of time to find the right bus.

Passengers have reported that the seating system on buses is different to that stated on tickets. This means you should expect to be seated when you arrive at the bus regardless of your seat number.

Buses in Thailand are often subject to delays and may also have technical problems en routes. As a result journeys may take longer than advertised and it is best to leave time between arriving in your destination and any onward travel as you may miss a connecting flight or train if the bus has a delay.

All good, just wish we knew more details about the trip (i.e. time for dinner etc.). Also, the plug near our seat was broken but the bus was half empty so we could charge in another seat. Finally, they stop in one of these local gas station, dinner is included in the ticket but in case you don't fancy local food there's no much more to choose from so go prepared. As for the rest, all very kind and blanket and water provided too. The seats are comfortable too.

I was running late for the bus due to traffic from Siem Reap, and asked if I can change my ticket to the following day. They said no, non refunding and no changing.

Smooth experience. The southern Bus station in Bangkok is ,as another rider reviewed, comically dysfunctional.

The trip itself was okay, but unfortunately, the place we told we was getting dropped off at was miles away from where we actually stopped. Which meant that we couldn't get to our hotel (which we booked for opposite where we was supposed to be dropped off according to 12Go). So we lost out on a precious few hours sleep and 460 baht for the hotel and another 250 to get us near to where we had to be the following morning. If you book this journey, be cautious as to where you actually stop.

This is a good service. The buse was clean and well equipped with aircraft type seats, usb power point and plenty of space. Complimentary food and water is provided. The staff even confirm your onward destination so they can leave you at the correct place. The only reason I did not give a 5 ratings was because he bus left a little late so I missed my ideal ferry journey.

The journey went well, the seats were spacious and comfortable, and bottles of water were distributed. On the other hand, we were not informed that we had arrived at the stop, which we realized at the last moment, fortunately we woke up! Otherwise a good trip

trip started on time and everything else was ok, no complaints. used this service several time now all data ok as promised. don't complain in Thailand about a 30 minutes delay, since this could be rather normal. Started from here phuketpenang.trvge.com

Big upside....Bus goes to Mochit 1st before going to South Terminal, so for those wanting to travel beyond Bangkok you're able to get minivan or bus at Mochit. The trip is safe and quiet. Drivers seemed very professional and accommodating. Would definitely use again, and would certainly recommend.

We arrived at the south terminal about 1h30 late. A 20-minute break after more than 5 hours on the road! To eat and go to the toilet!!!! The driver and his colleague were very unpleasant and didn't speak a word of English. Comfort ok but no water.

The bus started 30 min later at the busterminal in Surat Thani and arived Bangkok 110 min later. End of the line wasn't the Southern Terminal, but the Mochit Bus Depot. Cause of this we almost missed our flight in Bangkok, which we booked in a bundle with the bus. We needed a very expensiv Taxi to the airport to got our flight. The seats and the comfort in the bus were ok, however the bus was a little bit old an shaky. We got some water and a blanket the bus.

The bus was late, I was not told on which gate it arrives. The contact person was not there at all and it was not really obvious which bus belongs to my ticket. It would also be good to know how many stops are made in between....

We don't understand Thai, it would be nice to make the announcements also in English, just a few words quickly, the break time and the name of the stops. Otherwise it was perfect!

The trip on a VIP bus was lovely, but I rated 3 stars because the pickup and drop off points were wrong for Satun-Bangkok! Please know that Sri Suthep Tour operates from the main Satun Bus Terminal, whatever your voucher says. Could have been in trouble if had less time before departure. In Bangkok the bus arrived to a different Terminal as well, but that's not so bad. Ask your bus driver just in case when you board the bus to know for sure.

It was easier picking up the tickets than buying at the station. The language barrier was bridged through booking with 12go

Overall the seats were comfy, the AC cold and the trip uneventful. Unfortunately the USB charging port was broken, we had two people on a mat behind us laying on the floor and several cockroaches that would visit us periodically throughout the night. While advertisered as VIP it was not.

After 2 hours that we left Bangkok the hydraulic pump of the bus broke down and we waited 3 hours for a new bus, but the trip was nice even the new bus more comfortable and with better sits, I think it's the best way to arrive in Donsak for take the boat to Koh Samui, it's the cheapest way for sure

It was easy to get around in the terminal. The bus is comfortable with air conditioning, and on boarding we were given a plaid, a bottle of water and a bun, a small thing, but nice. The departure was delayed by 30 minutes, but we arrived on time. The driver was neat, there was no shaking, and nothing and no one fell off the shelves) In general, I was happy with the trip.

It was a pleasent journey. Only weird thing was that the bus arrived to Mochit bus station instead of the southern station, but for me that was only a good thing as i needed to take the BTS.
