So the app advertises that if you buy a VIP cabin for two people then you get a VIP cabin for two people in which both of you can stay together. I paid nearly $20 extra per ticket to get the VIP cabin but when I reach the bus the bus operator told me that there is no such thing and we only offer single cabins. So me and my partner had to stay in separate carpets. I reached out to 12go Asia's and they asked me for pictures which I shared. They asked me for other details. I shared all the details and after that they have ghosted me.

The bus itself was very nice. A bug bed and a charging port, overall pretty comfortable. The driver was a maniac. It’s one thing to drive like a maniac but what really bothered me was that he honked every second and woke me up all the time. If it wasn’t for the driver I bet it would’ve been much better.

Great journey, the cabins are comfy and spacious with good air con. They had proper announcements before our 30min break and end destination so you could prepare to get off. Excellent proactive communication from the company prior to leaving. Actually arrived at the predicted time too!

Driver was great but the operator told the driver to get there 3/4 hours later so a 4/5 hour journey took 8 hours.
