Very comfortable bus. We got Snacks, water, and stopped for dinner at a simple road stop at 10 pm. The food was simply but really tasty. We arrived 1,5h later than predicated. Thus was because there are many accidents on the road that cause trafic jams during several parts of the trip. Thus was through no fault if the driver. The bus left at 18. 50 on the dot. Everything is very well organized. Be aware that the platform number can chance, and you may not know since they only announce in Thai. Pay attention to the company you're traveling with, and ask the bus driver if that is the bus to x y and city. Our tickets said platform 69 and our bus ended up leaving from 67. Other than that, everything went perfectly smooth. The Trip bkk - Krabi 12h (with the delay). The bus seats turn into an almost bed, with highly reclinable seats.

Travelling from Bangkok to Krabi with a 2.5 hour waiting time in Surat Thani because they waited for another bus, and then dropped us off at Krabi Bus Terminal instead of the Krabi Office (as booked).

The bus started at Bangkok and everthing was fine. The seats were good. But suddenly the bus stopped in Surat Thani, in the middle of nowhere. At this point we had to change the bus zu a lot of different vans, because of the differnt destinations. That was also okay. But I still dont unterstand why we had to pay 200 Baht per person extra. That was suspicous. But all in all it was a good trip.
