Zéro information on site at the addition. Just crossing the fingers that the bus will arrive one day.

Bus left on time. Bus was not very new or modern, but still quite comfortable. We were all told to get off the bus 1 hour from Chanthaburi as the bus had allegedly broken down. We had to wait one hour in a small travel office, for another bus to arrive to complete the journey. We had read on other reviews of this bus operator, that this has happened before.

I ride this route fairly regularly and often use 12go. Booking: simple, accurate and easy - as usual The 4pm bus left at 5, without any communication or explanation. This is the latest departure I've experienced. Just stay relatively close to your boarding point (they're numbered) Oir driver was a pretty crabby guy who was not terribly polite... usually they're more gentile- maybe a bad day having to leave late. The minibus had wifi jacks - not fast charging but adequate for my needs Driving - safe Special drop-off: easy. I told him which junction i needed to hop off at. Done deal. No problem. No drama If you don't speak Thai (I do).. Get someone to write your destination and any special needs in Thai. The guys in the terminal speak some English but it's absolute hit/miss on board (I've ended up having to translate on occasion and there's not always someone on board who can help with language). In a pinch, load a translation app on your phone. It's not perfect but if you avoid slang and keep things simplistic, it does a decent job

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.

The Bus is clean and everything went fine. Important notes: - really be half an hour early! The bus left at 6.30 instead of 7 am. - there is no toilet on board
