Bangkok to Thong Sala Koh Phangan Destination Reviews

The ‘VIP’ bus was not comfortable at all. Difficult to communicate with the crew in English. Some of them were not friendly at all.

Transport was just what needed. There was a blanket and we were given food vouchers. Unfortunately the charging ports on bus did not work and due to the bus being delayed I presume we had to take the later ferry across to the island. This meant we only arrived on the island at 2 rather then 10 as the ticket stipulated.

The entire journey was amazing. The Travel agent was courteous, asked me to keep my luggage inside because I was early when it was time to board the bus he asked us to follow him. The bus was clean, very modern. The seat would recline nicely and also have USB type C and type a charging. Fleece blankets were offered the bus stop for break at 12:20 for almost 25 minutes. The bathrooms were clean next morning. The bus reach at around 6:30 AM for breakfast and also pick up a ferry tickets. We reached the ferry pier by 8:10 AM and the whole journey was amazing

Very nice people, everything was perfectly organised, the bus was very comfortable and we even got a little snack and a drink. Maybe if it has wifi it would be better but that doesn’t change the fact that this was the best bus ride I had.

We left Bangkok with some delay (obviously waiting for some people who need to improve their time management...) and arrived at Kho Phangan 3 hours later than planne (not sure this was because of the long weekend traffic or if this is always the case). Only one toilet stop on a 20 hours trip :( (there was a toilet on the bus, but really didn't want to use that one).

Overall very good and comfortable experience. Don`t fall for the lady selling 200 Bath group-taxi tickets though! It´s totally overpriced and only works because she seems super official and approaches everyone at 4 in the morning at the transfer stop. Check the location on maps first, a regular taxi is propably cheaper and faster then a group taxi!!
