The boat was on time, the driver was friendly, it was a small bus not a minivan which is a good thing but we still arrived 2 hours late. It's not the driver's fault because he only took two 20-minute breaks, it's just false advertising, they tell us a 7h30 hour journey when even without breaks it takes at least 9h. If I knew it was going for a 9h trip I would take a plane.

For a trip that long one would expect the bus to have a functional bathroom

到着は1時間半遅れた。おそらく雨のせいだろう。

Время прибытия задержалось на 1,5 часа. Наверно из-за Дождя в большей степени.
The ride took more than 3 hours than specified. The driver took more than 7 stops in between for example to buy fruits, refuel or to pickup or deliver packages. We stopped at a snack bar where the driver took a long time with his meal and everyone waited for him (About 20-30 minutes).
The ferry ride and first bus ride to the organasational stop in thongsala was okay
Getting the tickets was smooth and the staff were friendly. However we were 2 and a half hours late (for a 7 hour trip) with no explanation. Traffic seemed fine I think there was just some mismanagement of what bus we were getting
Very little air on and cramped. Every seat filled and everyone has huge luggage. At the front the trip was fine but at the back every bump made you actually fly off your seat
The trip went smooth.
The check in at Phantip Phangan counter was a bit slow (luckily we got there 30 minutes earlier). Ferry was comfortable (not a lot of passengers, there is enough space between seats, there is a shop at tne ferry for food, if needed).
When we arrived at Donsak pier, there were people giving directons on which bus to board (there are a lot of 'packages').
When we found Phuket bus, luggage was boarded (there was no issue for the size of suitcase for us, i dont think any other passenger had any problema due to luggage size, though the bus was small, so i can imagine there could be issues if you come late when everyone has boarded and you have a big suitcase)
Anyway, when we boarded the bus we waited for more than 30 minutes at spot, god knows why, before the bus finally went on its way.
After hours of sitting, the bus of course became uncomfortable, but it was overall a comfortable bus.
Good thing to know is that the bus stops in a restaurant/shop for 30 minutes, so you can get some food, go to the bathroom.
We arrived to Phuket approximately 30 minutes before schedule.
Also, while we waited for the bus departure, a guy was asking if anyone needs transfer to Phuket's districts (Patong, Kata, Karon). He was only asking briefly and preferably only Thai speaking people on the bus. We felt left out. But luckily when arriving to Phuket, the bus stopped at the airport and then somewhere on the way to Bus terminal 2 where two minivans waited for transfer to Patong/Kata. We could pay for the transfer there regardless of not paying to the guy collecting on the bus. The transfer was 200B pet person, and we were dropped in fort of our hotel at Patong. I woudl reccomend anyone to take this tranafer (not buying it in the beginning as the 'package').
