Unfortunately, 12go's customer service is unavailable. There is no phone number and no email address. I never received a response to the contact form I sent. Therefore, we will not be submitting a review of the tour.

The female coordinator on the bus did not let us sit where we wanted, even though many seats were free. My husband had to sit in a seat where behind him was the way down from the double-decker, so he could not put his seat back for sleeping. I asked at the beginning twice if we could change seats, but she said no both times. It felt personal, but I don’t know why, because we just got on the bus and had no contact with her before.

I have read a lot of horrible reviews about this bus trip and was a bit nervous, but everything was great: staff helpful, bus very comfortable, blanket fluffy and clean, driver careful and experienced, all was perfect. The only one thing made my experience not 5 stars is the 5 minutes delay to the pier so we have missed the ferry to Samui and have to wait another hour for the next one. It was not so crucial for me so it was ok.

Vehicle a bit damaged. And we got thrown out with no reason told to us but, so it was a bit sketchy and felt scammy but we arrived at Koh Samui in the end from Bangkok.

The bus arrived ~30 minutes late, but we were asked to check in 1 hour before the stated departure time. Other passengers, however, arrived within 20-30 minutes of the bus leaving, with no problems. Therefore we were stuck with our luggage for an extra hour and a half waiting..

Quiet old bus. From my point of view too cold. Transfer to the ferry was too late due to many intermediate stops. We arrived 5 minutes before departure.

The bus ride was fantastic, I've never slept THIS well on a bus before but it was 8h straight. Fantastic experience!! The switch to the boat though? I got thrown into a different minivan in the middle of the street and later while everyone got to go on their ferry I had to hope back on to go to a different ferry port where I got to find out that raja ferries look like they can barely make it across the seas. The service there wasn't really good either, everything was dirty, broken, old. The toilets clogged. If you take this trip, maje sure it's not a raja ferry boat. Just go straight to Nathon instead of Lipa Noi.
