No personal screens, massage in chair was broken. Information about how to get the meal was poor.

Very spacious bus, lots of leg room. There's some variations between the buses like the availability or functioning of sockets or ports for charging based on individual buses but the general condition of the buses in this line is pretty great. The staff on board the bus is also very helpful.

Uncomfortable to sleep. Unfortunately I had someone sitting next to me who obviously ate stuff which forced him to fart all the drive. The bus staff were not too much interested in being friendly or helpful. Possibly we just had bad luck.

Travelled from Bangkok to Surat Thani. Very easy once I spoke to the “Information “ desk on the top floor. They were able to direct me to the right window to get my ticket and bus platform departure information. It was a good experience. It gets chilly on the bus, but they provide blankets. The Hub hotel is right next to bus station in Surat Thani. Cheaper to book in person at hotel than online. Very good experience/good quality service. Thank you!🙏
