The bus departed on time and just had 1 stop for eating food. The service was fast and smooth and we reached Ao Nang ahead of time.

Pros: • The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space between rows. Most of the chargers worked, and WiFi was also pretty good. • A bottle of water, cake bar and blanket were provided. • Arrived an hour early. Cons: • The entire bus smelled extremely strongly of urine for the duration of the trip. • We were disembarked and after half an hour, swapped to a minibus at 6am. We didn't know this was happening so cut sleep down only a couple of hours. Assuming that the urine incident was a one-off, I would absolutely recommend this company due to all of the positive factors.

We are a family with a kid and we were separated plus we didn’t get any lower berth. So o. Top of being spread through the train car we were also at the end of the train which resulted in violent shaking - i could not get any meaningful sleep for 10 hours. Also they left the lights in the train car up for the whole night so i have to say train was pure torture. I fear that my way back will be similar. The van after the train was comfortable, no complaints there, driver very friendly and helpful, so all good.

Bus was fine older long haul bus, definitely not the one from the pictures. Wifi did not work, did not receive a blanket and the seats in front of me and the man next to me were broken and reclined until they were stopped by our knees, making the ride incredibly uncomfortable to the point of painful at many points where if have to push the seat in front of me forward so I could get some blood flow to my legs. It was only those two seats though the rest worked fine. If you take this bus make sure you don’t sit on the bottom right first row back. Overall not great and kind of deceptive with the photo but you get what you pay for so it is what it is. Left on time and arrived about an hour early. Woman at the office was very nice and walked me to the bus because it parked a couple blocks from the office.

Booked two tickets to Ao Nang but what they don't tell you is that there is a minibus connection in Surat Thani where they charge you again to get to your actual destination hotel. 200 baht each and if you lose your paper ticket some people get charged double. Poor communication and a bit of a scam.
