Driver nor hostess spoke English. Stops in Pattaya were very unclear, as they are just main road stops. Driver or hostess couldn't communicate well where we were

The wait and pickup from DMK couldn't be any easier. Made it into Pattaya quickly and relatively comfortably. First time using this direct connection but not my first time in Pattaya so I was relatively ok with which stop I needed. I think there needs to be some information for those first time travelers though because there was some confusion amongst the passengers on what which of the 3 stops they should step off. Also, one minor complaint was the loud EDM over the speakers . No problem with music, just turn it down, please.

The ferry ride was nice and convenient. The bus ride from Donsak to Suratthani was overbooked. There was more people than available seats on the bus. The person next to me was very fat. When someone is too fat they should book two seats because they need two. Because of that I only had half a seat and on top of that the person infront of me reclined his seat as far as possible so it was basically impossible to fit in my spot. The ride was also 20 minute late on arrival and went of the fastest route a couple of times to do some kind of deliveries.
