For the price, it is a very good service, everyone is very helpful but the train ride is very uncomfortable. The train provided the blanket but an eye patch, noise cancelling earphones and a pillow is a must if you are planning to sleep well.

We complained to customer service and the operator said they cleaned the toilet that smell very very bad. He only stopped to let us off to get something to eat 6 hours after we left bangkok. He did not stop at convenience store for us to buy something to eat. He stopped next to road.

Comfortable trip. Spacious seats in the bus and everything ran according to schedule. Just dress warm enough because of the constant airco

Overall, the trip was good and the ride was comfortable. However, I booked my ticket to Nathon Pier, but the ferry arrived at Lipa Noi Pier instead. It would have been helpful if I had been informed about the change in advance. Other than that, everything was fine. Thank you.

We had two flights in 20 hours and hadn’t slept for 2 days going into this. We needed to sleep. I have never been so comfortable in any vehicle before. We were practically lying down in an extremely comfy chair. The cabin was cool which is good for sleep, they also gave us a planket for comfort. Food was provided before it. They were tasty and filling. Staff were lovely This is the best service we have found in Thailand. I highly reccomend
