Bangkok to Chanthaburi Destination Reviews

MR
Easiest booking experience ever! Made my booking in a couple minutes - no need to go to the bus station early. Also, booking early allowed me to choose and get my preferred seats. (Tip: in the 20 passenger minibuses 2C and 2D have the most legroom. Bus tix are cheap so I usually buy both - but I'm not on a budget Ride quality is ok - not great...no recline and fairly hard seats but for 3-4 hour rides, I'm ok. I'd opt for a full tour bus for longer sojourns. The driver is safe - never over about 90kmh and they actually post a live feed of his speed for everyone to see. I speak Thai so it's all really easy but non-speakers could have minor challenges - though all the employees do try their best when I see tourists interacting with the staff

The driver of the minivan busdishonoured the fact that I had a reserved seat in the single line of seats and cramped me in at the back of the minivan /bus.

Unfortunately the leg space of the vans is suited for lical people, but not necessarily for larger (European) individuals. Trying to ask, whether we can change seats (which were not reserved) was refused - maybe also because the language barrier did not allow proper communication and the driver was a bit grumpy. Driving style was adventerous, however, we made it 10 minutes ahead of schedule even though there were traffic jams outbound Bangkok.
