It took almost 5 hours without any particular problems. The 3.5 hours indicated as the estimated time is simply too optimistic, probably never respected.

lthough I purchased tickets directly to Phuket Airport, I was unexpectedly forced to leave the bus in Phuket City and arrange my own taxi to reach the final destination. This almost doubled the total cost of the trip, which was very frustrating and inconvenient. Communication with the crew was poor and unclear, so it was difficult to understand what was happening or get proper assistance. On the positive side, the bus departed on time and the vehicle itself was large and comfortable. However, due to the unexpected change and extra expense, the overall experience was disappointing.

During booking the trip it was mentioned that bus gonna be comfortable minivan. The minivan actually came to pick me up from hotel, but he just drop me to bus station and I need to wait 50 min outside for another bus. They brought very old bus with very small leg space which cause pain to sit there. The luggage was placed in the middle of aisle, so you cant even keep legs out to rest the knee pain. I sat on single sit, than driver forced me to sit in the front on double sit with another person. When I asked him why I cant sit alone where I feel comfortable, he was very rude and shouting back.
