Bangkok to Ratchaburi Destination Reviews

We arrived at the bus terminal at 11:50. We were told the 12:00 bus was full and we had to wait for the next one. We showed them the tickets purchased for the 12:00 bus and they refused to let us on. We caught the next bus at 12:30.

A wonderful driver, I forgot my bag in his bus and he keeps it for me. Thank you so much for their honesty

Good, would use again. Seats reserved not next to each other despite adjacent seats being vacant. A big issue that needs correcting.

It is such as a memorable experience for me traveling with 12 Go. I paid twice for my booking but it responded immediately for the refund. Thanks 12 Go.

The driver arrived on time and got us safely to and from our destination. He offered to take pictures for us and I feel it was beyond a good customer service experience.
