The bus station itself is not particularly comfortable, stiff outdoor benches, only one small, shopping pavilion, which has a very meager and small selection of products for the road. The most outrageous thing is that they gave us the VIP 32 bus instead of the VIP 24, without explaining the reason. The bus provided absolutely does not meet the VIP standards: only 6 VIP seats on the lower deck of the bus, 4 of which are too close together to make room for the cargo the bus drivers are carrying for their own needs, to the detriment of the passengers. The cabin door is not airtight and there was a constant smell of a nearby toilet in the cabin. The promised meals consisted of only a bottle of water and a packet of cookies. The bus attendants did not answer any questions and were rude to the passengers. To be on the trip for 14 hours under such conditions was extremely difficult.

Сам автовокзал не особенно комфортен, жесткие скамейки на открытом воздухе, всего один небольшой, торговый павильон, в котором очень скудный и небольшой выбор продуктов в дорогу. Самое возмутительное, что нам предоставили автобус ВИП 32 вместо ВИП 24, не объяснив причины. Предоставленный автобус абсолютно не отвечает стандартам ВИП: всего 6 ВИП мест на нижнем этаже автобуса 4 из которых слишком близко расположены друг к другу, чтобы освободить место для груза, который водители автобуса перевозят для своих нужд в ущерб пассажирам. Дверь салона не герметична и в салоне постоянно ощущался запах рядом расположенного туалета. Обещанное питание состояло лишь из бутылки воды и пачки печенья. Обслуживающий персонал автобуса ни на какие вопросы не отвечал и был груб в общении с пассажирами. Находиться в поездке 14 часов при таких условиях было крайне тяжело.

All good, only please need to discipline, teach driver's helpers, those who are controlling, always count passengers,they're impolite, AC is too cold, when you ask to reduce AC a bit, they never do;)
All night you feel cold;)
But food on they way stop is good, Thailand is good;)
Just service need to be improved a bit more;)
Thank you.

The bus is comfortable. There is a comfortable temperature in the cabin. Each passenger is given a bottle of water, a muffin and a plaid. The seats are new and comfortable enough.
The ride is slow. We were about an hour late from the stated arrival time.
It stops very often. But passengers can only get off at one stop - very inconvenient for smokers.

Автобус комфортный. В салоне комфортная температура. Каждому пассажиру предоставляется бутылка воды, кекс и плед. Сидения новые и достаточно удобные.
Едет медленно. Мы опоздали от заявленного времени прибытия примерно на час.
Очень часто останавливается. Но выйти пассажирам можно только на одной остановке - это очень неудобно для курящих.

Long trip. One stop at rest terminal w/ a meal served inside. Blanket, water, and small cake provided at beginning of trip. No usb chargers, seats weren’t that comfy. Cheap way to get to pattaya but honestly I was so exhausted from the trip it kinda ruins the day you arrive. It’s not the worse but it’s not the best, if you can fall asleep for a good portion of the trip it wouldn’t be bad otherwise it’s rough. All staff were nice tho but could def use a morning stop and drop off location was in between bus terminal and downtown pattaya, very inconvenient location.

The journey was fine, staff were nice but I had concerns when I couldn't open door or communicate with the driver as the intercom was not working, the air conditioning was permanently on freezing and needed to get more clothes out of the back of the bus from my suitcase, I had asked the driver that it was really cold but he didn't care.

The bus did indeed depart from Phuket in time and also did arrive at the destination in time other than that while the journey was relatively pleasant but could have been better. The staff never tell you where the bus is going to halt for refreshment and when it did it was close to midnight. The seats also could have been more comfortable. The compartment/deck smelled of loo whenever somebody entered or exited the loo but thankfully they have room freshners up. Overall for the amount paid for the journey was as best as it could get.
One cross observation about the staff: one of the farang lady onboard deboarded the bus with the complimentary blanket on, which while wrong on her part but the staff instead of asking for it politely just tried to pull and grab it off her and we're also seen laughing and joking about it . (A personal observation) it in no way speaks about the journey in particular but the staff can be sensitised
