The driver don't allow passenger to talk at all even in normal volume, he even will stop at the side of highway for few time just to ask other people to shut up, although I didn't talk at the whole journey, but I don't felt disturb by other passenger even thought they are talking, everytime got people talking he will look at the back mirror just to give the stare to the passenger and purposely change to slow lane and drive very slow until the passenger is no longer talking then he will drive back to normal lane, he definitely is over reacting and got some anger issue, and me and my wife felt unsafe when he is driving like this, he is not suitable to become a bus driver with this anger issue he got.

I had a good experience with this bus company. I read many bad reviews, and so I went in with low expectations. But everything went smoothly. I arrived early for the bus and was able to wait in a comfy semi-outdoor waiting area that had a (very basic, but functioning) bathroom, snacks for purchase, etc. I was able to take an earlier bus, too, which was nice. The bus itself was better than I expected and even had a USB port at my seat that worked. The driver was a bit too fast and weaved through traffic more than I liked, but we didn't run into any issues. The journey lasted around the amount of time it said it would. Overall, I'd take this bus company again. (Note, I didn't have a plane to catch, so I wasn't worried about a late start, which could understandably be a concern for some people. I don't know if I'd rely on this bus for a tight connection. That said, this bus did not wait for it to be full before departing, so we did leave more or less on time.) The pickup location in Pattaya has a large pink banner over it (as of September 2026).
