Nothing was VIP ... 4 seat/row very narrow, no space for legs, no welcone pack, 1 stop very late for dinner, no coordination. Transfer to a minivan with no space, people trying to sell stuff out of the box ... In relation to average vietjet cost this experience was expensive.

Didn’t do hotel transfers, nothing ‘VIP’ about their service they just charge you extra for nothing. Cramped bus, seats barely reclined, no snacks like other companies offer and charging ports don’t work so had a dead phone for the whole journey

bangkok - Ao Nang: nice bus, free dinner, had to change bus two times (which worked well - they organise everything for you). But wished they had this information on the 12go Asia website when booking. A little bit intransparent

Dion D

Arrived around 17:30 at location while j was supposed to arrive 09:45. Spent almost 24 hours in a bus that is absolutely not up to VIP standard compared to other companies. Not booking again with this organization. Everything was chaotic to the extreme and no communication at all.
