What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Tara Tour and Travel?
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.

I did manage to go from bangkok to kanchanaburi, but the part that was done by tara tour & travel was pretty bad. The people that work at tara are extremely unfriendly and they just drop you off at the busstation, so you can also just take a grab to the minivan terminal and buy a ticket there. The rest did go as planned although it took a bit longer.

Did what it promised, with a smile!
Friendly staff, at the agency and in the bus.
It was a really smooth drive with one stop.
I will book this agency again in the future.

Booked to pick us up at 11 but left at 11.30 but still got there on time :) Tara travel was a little hard to find as maps says it’s over the bridge on the right side but it’s the left of the road. Had to swap buses but got aircon and a comfy seat. Really lovely people

De airco was lek, daarom de halve nacht met handdoeken heen en weer geweest. En waren we helemaal nat. Ook was de bus een uur te laat waardoor we meer dan 1.5u hebben moeten wachten

I got on a first mini bus that took me to another bus station, where I waited around 30 minutes for another mini bus to start.
I don’t recommend if you are in a hurry. As I was aware this could happen, it did not bother me. We got there in the end !

Booking process was easy. We arrived at the Khao San Road office 30 minutes in advance, as advised. We were told to wait and left only at 11.30, half an hour late, when a man came out of the office who had already been there when we checked in and led us to a van that had already been parked there ever since we got there... he drove us to the bus station and showed us the platform where again we waited for quite a while. No one told us what we could expect, they didn't speak much english so information was very poor. Eventually the mini bus arrived that would drive us to Kanchanaburi. This was a comfortable van with good ac. Along the route we stopped a couple of times to pick up or drop off passengers. We arrived in Kanchanaburi around 5.30 instead of 3.30 as scheduled. All together it was a comfortabele drive but if you choose the 11am bus just consider it a travel day and don't make any plans as the time schedule means absolutely nothing.

J'ai booké ce bus car plus aucun trains ne partaient vers Chiang Mai. Je n'avais pas l'habitude de voyager en bus en Thailande donc j'ai été surprise de l'état général du véhicule et du non respect de l'horaire prévu (départ plus d'une heure après ce qui était annoncé).
Le bus était vieux et déglingué... Si le moteur est aussi bien entretenu que l'intérieur du bus il y a lieu de s'inquiéter. Nous n'avons heureusement pas eu de pannes ni rien mais j'en ai eu peur. Les lampes à l'intérieur ne marchent pas (seulement l'allée centrale), il y a l air co mais ce n'est pas réglable (sauf en coinçant les froufrous décoratifs dedans pour en limiter la puissance). Prenez un pull ou un châle avec vous et chargez votre téléphone à l'avance car les prises usb ne fonctionnent pas non plus. Une expérience que j'espère ne pas revivre.
NB: pour ceux qui ont l'habitude des chicken bus en Amérique du Sud, celui-ci est évidemment un modèle de luxe.

Wir kamen wie gefordert um 9.00 Uhr zum Check In. Eine Frau stellte uns 2 Hocker hin und liess uns warten. Ob dies schon der Chck In war, war uns unklar. Auf Klingeln reagierte niemand. Um 9.30 ging es mit der Frau und dem Fahrer zum auswärts gelegenen Busterminal. Die Beiden waren die unfreundlichsten Menschen auf unserer bisherigen Reise. An dem Busterminal kaufte die Frau uns ein Ticket und wir mussten dann bis 11.30 Uhr warten dann ging die Busfahrt los. Wir fuhren mit einem offiziellen Bus. Damit fing die Reise dann an. Der Bus und die Fahrt war interessant und gut. Es gab Wasser und ein Cheese Bürger. Wir hatten am Ende fast 2 Stunden Verspätung. Die Vermittlung über Tara Travel war aus unserer Sicht überflüssig. Das Ticket hätten wir uns zum halben Preis dort selber kaufen können und unnötige Anreise und Wartezeit hätten wir uns ersparen können.

We really enjoyed the tour. Especially because of our tourguide Lucky. She is the best, she is so funny but also informative. She answers all your questions and is very clear on about what is going to happen. We were lucky to see Lucky!

I wanted to go to Pranburi but the lady of the office decided I will go to a city 20km before it. It makes more sense to go to the bus terminal and buy the ticket directly from the bis company. It saves about 300 Baht.

We had to change 3 times from the bus before we went away. And when we were finally in Kanchanaburi, i just got out of the bus, and they said I had to walk to the hotel. This was just at a busy street, in the middle of nowhere...

It does take you from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, but you will be brought to a bus station for a mini van transfer (without any verbal explanation however)
We were there 30 minutes in advance and the shop was still closed until 5 min before dept. time, but in the end we left precisely at the booked time
Long story short, we got there as promised but don’t expect any explanation/service apart from the vans.

A very stressful trip :
We arrived at the adress but the shop was empty and obviously closed. We called the nulber but did not understand the response and then they hung up on us. People on the street saw us struggling during half an hour (because we arrived early as indicated on the reservation). They told us where to knock (a few doors up on the left) and the woman took 10min to open the door (i think we woke her up). During this time we looked at the google reviews and saw that sometimes they just took you to the bus station if the van is not full so we started to stress out. The woman was not explaining what was gonna happen. Finally, a van arrived and we were told to get in but further information was given, we did nog know if we were going to the bus station or kanchanaburi. In the end we arrived but it was stressful. We think that if people in the street didnt help us we would never have travelled with this van.

For the return to BKK have chosen company Sombat which has VIP service and you can choose your seats. And cheaper altogether

Normally we’ve booked the tourbus for this trip, but we were placed in a mini van instead. The reason that we got: ‘because this is shorter’. And indeed, it only took us 2,5 hours to reach Kanchanaburi! The drive itself was fine, no negative comments on that.

They load you into a mini bus then just take you to a bus at the bus station. Feels kind of shady. The bus you are on for the journey looks nothing like the photos.

Overall the trip was fine but as a heads up to other travellers; you pay the company and they shuttle you to the bus station, sort out your ticket for you and then leave you to get on a proper bus to Nong Khai, where you are met by a relative of one of the company who then shuttles you to the border with some info regarding how to cross. This was not bad or difficult it was just unknown to me :)

Thought it was a shuttle van going directly to my destination as shown in the photo but it turned out a bus which was not a convenient bus; less space. However you need not to worry about buying a bus ticket as an agent will accompany at a bus terminal and buy the bus ticket for you.

Die Fahrt ging super schnell. Die Route war gebucht von der Khao San Road und war definitiv unter 3,5 Std, jedoch auch dementsprechend riskant.
Der Bus war in einem desolaten Zustand, hat uns aber sicher ans Ziel gebracht.
Preis-Leistung passt. :)

Après avoir lu plusieurs commentaires mitigés, j'ai quand même décidé de partir avec cette compagnie. L'accueil était froid comme attendu mais ce n'est ce qui m'intéressait. Le voyage était impeccable, départ à l'heure, arrivée à l'heure dans un mini-bus bien confortable.
Pour les voyages, je pense que la compagnie a deux manières de procéder :
1- si le mini-bus est complet alors il vous enmene lui même à destination.
2- s'il n'est pas complet, il vous dépose à la gare routière, vous prend un ticket vers votre destination et vous demande d'attendre.

Ho viaggiato sulla tratta Bangkok Chiang Mai, il pullman quel giorno aveva le prese elettriche guaste quindi i nostri telefoni e quelli di altri si sono spenti... il problema reale però è stato un altro: l’autobus aveva una temperatura fuori da ogni limite, l’aria condizionata era impostata bassissima e siamo tutti morti di freddo dato che l’autista non ha mai voluto abbassarla nonostante le svariate sollecitazioni.
La nota positiva sono i sedili molto comodi che quasi si stendono a formare un letto. Siamo morti di freddo fate qualcosa
