About Transport Co Intl

Quick company Intro
Transport Co Intl is a bus company that runs buses around regional destinations in Thailand as well as international buses from Thailand to Laos and Cambodia. Buses, particularly for international routes, are spacious although may vary in model, size, and condition depending on the schedule.

All buses are large and have air-conditioning and some routes have meals and snacks served on board such as simple fried rice, sponge cake, tea, coffee, and juice. There is also a steward allocated to most buses to help with refreshments and any other needs.
For international buses, crossing at the border is facilitated by the company as well as help and payment for the visas (although this is extra and not included in the bus ticket price).

Routes served by Transport Co Intl
There are a variety of routes served by Transport Co Intl around Thailand as well as international routes to Cambodia and Laos. Tickets can be bought on the spot at the bus station when you board the appropriate bus. Below some of the most popular routes are listed.

Thailand–Cambodia

Bangkok (Thailand) to Siem Reap (Cambodia) is served by one or two daily buses – depending on the season. Buses leave at 8 am and 9 am and the journey takes 9 hours. Tickets start from THB1000.

There are also buses heading from Bangkok (Thailand) to Phnom Penh (Cambodia). Buses leave Bangkok at 5 am and the journey takes 13 hours. Tickets start at THB1200.

Thailand–Laos

There is a direct bus from Bangkok (Thailand) to Vientiane (Laos). This route is especially popular among those who need to obtain their Thai visa as the Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane is the most convient for this purpose. Buses depart at 6 pm and take 11 hours. Tickets start at THB1100.

All the international buses between Thailand border towns of Khon Kaen, Mukdahan and Ubon Ratchaburi and their Lao counterparts of Vientiane, Savannakhet and Pakse are also operated by Transport Co Intl. Tickets cost between THB50 and THB200 depending on the route and should be bought on the spot.

Pros
One of the big pros with Transport Co Intl is that they cover long distances for less money then flying or taking a ferry.

All buses have air conditioning.

Buses have ample legroom and reclining seats for passengers who wish to sleep.

Tickets for many routes can be bought on the spot and don’t need to be booked in advance.

Food is included on long haul bus journeys as well as drinks and snacks.

Cons
Tickets do not include visa fees which passengers will need to pay themselves at the border for international buses.

Border crossings can take time to navigate due to the large volume of passengers.

Toilets are located on most buses which means stops are infrequent if you want to stretch your legs and usually take place in rural areas.

Keep in mind
Passengers with special diets may find a lack of meal choices.

Food is not always plentiful or of a high standard so you may wish to take additional snacks or drinks with you as there may be limited options to buy these along the way.

If you buy a ticket on the spot you may have to wait for the next bus if the first one is full.

What travellers say
There have been some reports of buses taking passengers to certain hotels once at their destination and refusing to drop them in the centre of town or at pre-booked hotels. Make sure you are clear about where you want to be dropped off before you board the bus. Normally you are supposed to be dropped at the official bus station.

Consider taking local transportation once you arrive at your destination (such as Siem Reap) to continue any onward travel and minimize delays or miscommunication.

Some passengers have reported that the visa process at the border can be confusing and that stewards on buses making international journeys can help with this. They usually however charge an administration fee on top of the visa price so decide ahead of time if you would like to deal with the visa process yourself or have staff facilitate this for you.

Buses are air-conditioned and this can sometimes be quite fierce. As such take a blanket or sweater with you to keep out the cold.

Helpful Driver and assistant. Bus with toilet at the back though the bus was quite old. With free snack and one meal. They assisted us in the border to Cambodia so it was not that hard and we didnt take much time.They have also free tuktuk ride to your hostel when we reach Siem Reap because it was already night time.

The bus all ran on time and was relatively comfortable. Would have been nice to have a bit more direction when crossing the border between Thailand and Cambodia.

The bus service is excellent, but getting cheated at the border will make you break out in a cold sweat. (If you have a visa, there is no cost to you.)

No problems during the trip. Bus was the older generation but that doesn't mean was worst than new buses where seats are so close to each other that there is no space for legs. There was plenty room to stretch yourself and also we could recline back of the seat to the stage that we were almost lying flat. Driver done the trip smooth. Just for those who are on Mochit station (ticket says Morchit with an R but the station is Mo Chit on Google maps - so yes they both same stations) seeing the bus and thinking it looks old it's still comfy and got a toilet facility on board (don't expect 5* toilet tho). Overall I've paid £20 for 7 hour trip and got what I was expecting. !REMEMBER to print the PDF ticket with the QRcode on it and seat number confirmed! I've printed the email with the reference number only and PDF file wondering what happen if I give only email - the guy advised can't find my booking, my money haven't been received and I have to buy another ticket and the 1st available bus is tomorrow (bus was not even half full). He changed his mind when I've shown him printed PDF, then money suddenly been transferred and he found the booking entering the same reference number which was on printed email :)) People on Mo Chit bus station unfortunately are not helpful so be careful.

To help future travellers: 1) Was the bus on time? Yes 2) Was the bus comfortable? Yes 3) Did we receive a welcome drink and cake? Yes 4) Was there enough bathroom / snack breaks? Yes 5) Did you get an included meal? Yes 6) Was the Visa process easy? Yes 7) Did the company provide a free shuttle to your hotel within the city? Yes. Overall our experience was very positive and we would recommend this service 100%.

Really nice trip overall. We left Bangkok at 9:10 (10 minutes after scheduled departure), stopped a gas station at 1:15 pm, arrived at the border around 2:30pm where we were given fried rice. We paid 1,300 baht and they took out passport and got visas for us. We walked across the border and reboarded the bus. We arrived in Siem Reap around 7:30pm

Very nice company. They sell dollars for baht at a great exchange rate when you get to the station in Siem Reap. They offer a snack and a meal. Driver was professional and safe. They spoke very clear English and were able to communicate easily with the non-Thai passengers . They helped everyone out a lot who needed a visa. I recommend this company

This was the real experience. Our driver, Bart aka king of the road, was kind and sweet, and let us watch muay thai with him while he was driving. His friend, Pookie, helped us with the visums, else we probably would have been killed or worse... mugged. Bart really liked honking on the street, because he wanted the attention of the pretty girls selling fried cat on the side of the road. The bus was comfortable, we barely heard the chickens and goats in the back. We even got to help the locals carry their stuff of the bus, because Bart was face timing with one of his pretty girls. We only saw one guy and dog die due to road accidents, none of them caused by Bart. It only took us 16 hours to get from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. As a conclusion I would really recommend this busride, but don't forget to ask for Bart for the real deal.

The bus was quite comfy, but the things for legs didn't work. Drivers were very fast. Some complimentary little cake and a bottle of water. On the customs we got one more meal - fried rice with salmon, which was very tasty. Air condition is very strong, tho.

I couldn't find where the VIP conditions were. In the station when they gave me the bus ticket I could see also that the normal price is 750 baht and I paid 950 baht through 12go.com. Inflated price

The bus was okay, enough space and the air condition was running. We had only a snack at lunch time, which was not vegetarian. We did the visa on arrival by ourselves but you can also let the man from the bus do it for some extra money. Everything worked out fine. We stopped again at a shop, everyone had to leave the bus and was urged to buy something - really unpleasant and unprofessional. We arrived Siem reap one hour earlier. We were offered a free tuk tuk to our hotel, which was really nice! Of course the driver asked us, if he could drive us to Angkor wat the next day, but we already had booked a tour. He was disappointed, but still very friendly.

The overall travel experience was fine - clean bus, good service. However, upon reaching the cambodian customs, things started to get quite messy with multiple low-rise building's for different segments instead of a single building encompassing everything, namely, the purchase of visa's, departure, and arrival etc. I was also asked to pay 100 baht in order to get my passport(Singaporean Passport) back. I believe this is not supposed to be a requirement. Reason being, those holding Singaporean passports need not pay for a visa's or any form of fees at the checkpoint. Additionally, those from the same bus were not required to pay any form fee at the customs checkpoint besides having the need to pay for their Visa.

The staff were friendly and helpful with everyone who was applying for visas, and the bus itself was very comfortable. The bus did stop for about 10 minutes just outside of Siem Reap, because there was something wrong with it, but we still arrived in good time. I would like to make the suggestion that perhaps when taking bookings you could inform passengers that there will be a meal provided and ask them to notify if they have any dietary requirements or allergies, as my partner and I weren’t able to eat the lunch provided due to this.

after waiting a while for the check-in becaus the lady served first every thai people (she even interrupted the transaction with me for serving some other thais) I got on the bus and got a place with quite much space because the bus was early empty at departure. The bus was okay, not the newest but comfy. They had all of stuff just put in the back. The travelling was alright too, they just didn´t really said everytime anything because of breaks and didn´t give any water, but at least we got a rice meal with crab (from the 7eleven) for free, that was nice. At the border it was a bit confusing but wasn't from the buscompany! We arrived about 50min later than expected, but that was okay.

Very good. The staff is so nice. Snack in the morning, and a meal at 1 pm. Though, it is a bit small, so do not hesitate to take some more food. At lunch time, you stop at a place where you can buy local food, perfect to complete your meal. At poipet, they really help people without a visa, they really simplify the all thing. Lastly, they offer a free drop in tuktuk to your hotel if it's few kms from the Nattakan bus station (where they drop you in Siem Reap). I recommend this company :)

The bus was relatively old and it was quite hot. For this price I would have expected something else. Upon arrival, you are driven by tuktuk drivers to the accommodation which I find a great service. Ours was so pushy regarding tours that it was unpleasant for me. When I refused, he even got angry.

Bus service was great. Border went very smoothly and we arrived to Siem Reap two hours earlier than expected. My only issue was that the bus took no stops at all, besides the border, which meant no options for food besides what they served. And no real bathrooms for an entire day...

GOOD THINGS: The bus is very comfortable. In the bus is air condition the completly time to siem reap. We got a bottle of water and a lot of snacks for free. We made a toilet break. And we had wifi. The connection was good enough for using facebook and whatsapp. . BAD THINGS It was not possible to apply the visa on arrival by ourself. We had to give our passports to a man. They stopped 500m in front of the border. I paid 35 usd. I think the price was okay????? . When we arrived in Siem Reap they asked us if we want to change our thai money to usd. they charged us 35 bath for 1usd. On the same day in bangkok the rate was 31 bath. . And they asked me for a free taxi to the center. I said yes. Then the driver asked me if i want to have a ride with him tomorrow. I said no. Than he threw me out of the taxi. 1.5km far away from the center. . That s my honest review about my experience.

Da unser Hotel den Transport zum Busbahnhof verrissen hatte, kamen wir erst 10min nach Abfahrt an! Das war jedoch kein Problem und die Dame an dem Schalten buchte uns anstandslos auf den nächsten Bus um! Kann ich nur empfehlen! Wir hatten bereits ein e-visum, wodurch wir uns die Situation vor der Grenze erspart hatten. Der Busfahrer kam kurz vor der Grenze rum und wollte alle Pässe einsammeln um das Visa vorher auszustellen (kostet deutlich mehr als bei Direktantrag an der Grenze). Er hat jedoch weder darauf gedrängt noch jemanden bedroht oder angeschrien, es verlief also ruhig und komplikationslos (auch für die, die erst an der Grenze das Visum beantragt haben)

Bought tickets online for 8am. The price when buying online is much higher than buying locally. It took us a long time to find the right window, but we made it 40 min before departure. The lady in the window did not register, she kept asking us to wait without explaining the reasons. She was registering some left people. 5 min before departure suddenly announced that there are no seats and sorry, we have to leave an hour later at 9. In general on the way the service is normal, except for visa processing at the border with Cambodia. Confusing explanations, offering their services for visa processing, while it is perfectly safe to pass the exit window from Thailand and the entry window into Cambodia without overpaying 15 dollars. Very attentive and helpful staff at the bus station in Siem Reap.

The journey was straight forward and easy, the bus was fairly comfy but lacked a little leg room as always. The toilet on the bus wasn’t as bad as I was expecting either. Crossing the border was a really easy process and the bus waited for everyone to get sorted before taking off again. Watch out for the scams! Luckily we had an EVisa already sorted so had no problem avoiding them. The one and only staff member on the bus will tell you all that you should get a visa before crossing the border then take your passport and 40 dollars or 1400 Thai bhat and sort it for you. You absolutely DO have the option to say no and they WILL wait for you to get your visa at the border. Everyone seemed to be handing this guy money and passports no problem except for one British couple at the back who had done their research (it only costs 30 dollars if you do it yourself). Or to make it even easier just buy and EVisa before you make the trip. Overall the journey wasn’t all that bad, would go with this company again.

excellent services. the bus is ok, the staff *very* friendly & they look after u. u'll get some food during the journey (it's ok, this is obviously not a michelin starred restaurant). about border crossing: with e-visa it is easier to cross the border than arriving in the uk from an eu destination. i highly recommend this service.
