Bus arrived 30 Minutes early and 3 people rushed to Board, but only 1 people could Board. Driver could Not speak English and only checked booking numbers. IT turned Out, that still another Bus will arrive later and the remaining people can use that one. Seat was OK and water bottle, small Snack and blanket was given. On way to Surat Thani there was a 30 Min. toilet and Food Stop. At Surat Thani all passengers of both Busses have been sorted Out for various final Destination s, Like Koh Samui, Ko Pangan, Ao Nang etc. To Ao Nang WE have been 34 people, so we got a big Bus again. Passengers for other Destination s have been loaded into small Busses, which have very tight Space for luggage. The waiting time at Surat Thani was about 1.5 hrs and the final Stretch to Ao Nang needed abt. 3 hrs. In the big Busses there ist a small toilet, which I would recommend only in Case of emergency.

Overall not vip or even close . I wss expecting hostess service on the night bus and basicly git a bottle of water. After transferring buses there was nkt even enough room to hold the luggage. I booked it as I thought it would be luxury and it was more expensive than flying. I will not make that mistake again.

No one at clock tower to check in until 10.30 to tell us bus was going to be 25 mins late. Not sure why we are expected to be there 60 mins prior. No decent seating. No toilets and strong smells from bins.

Everything was great, but would have been nice to know that there was a long transfer between busses. It wasn’t a problem, but as I was travelling with a small child, an itinerary would have been appreciated beforehand.

We went from Hua Hin clock tower to Ao Nang beach. The first bus was on time, driver handed out the tickets based on the e-ticket from email and we went to the next stop a sticked a stick with our destination on our chest. The bus was really comfortable, the seats could be lowered almost to a horizontal position. There were several stops during the ride. Every stop had toilet and most had a bufet or small grocery store. At around 5:45 they told us we need to get out also with our suitcases. The stop was in Surat Thani, noone was able to tell us when is the next bus coming. We were there about 1,5h. After that some minivans came and they divided us by our destination. Another 3h were covered by the minibus without much leg space. The driver dropped of other people at some really weird points, BE REALLY CAREFUL when buying the ticket where is the dropoff point. The driver told us if we gave him 100 baht he will drop us in front of our hotel. He really did and I think it was really worth it after seeing the people being dropped off at random places. After this I would consider rather buying the bus+van ticket since it was cheaper than ours (just bus which was a lie) and I think it was exactly the same.

The bus was nearly an hour late arriving in Hua Hin, plus I wasn’t advised that I would need to change buses. But arrived 1 hour ahead of the scheduled arrival time.
