A trip to drop four people off in Hua Hin added an hour and a half to the journey to Bangkok. Would suggest that Hua Hin people take an alternative bus or get a transfer taxi in the outskirts of Hua Hin to save the majority going to Bangkok the timely detour.

The food option was not upto the mark. Neither any specifications were asked for while making the booking. The tea/coffee service was good.

Global communication to be improved. I had to call by myself to get tickets as no one sent anything before my call. Tickets should be available once eveything is paid.

The ferry looks so awesome I never thought having nice ferry but the problem was if you have heavy luggage you need to lift by yourself. You will use stairs going up and going down. That's the down side and alot of transfer. No snacks or water offered compared to the bus operation they offer free dinner and snacks. The bus was big and spacious but the charging such as USB port /PD port/type C port was not working. Maybe in the future if you have those things. You will have more customers in the future. The bus driver was on time.5:30am we arrived in bangkok
