I felt I was shuffled about like a bit of cattle. 1st bus was a partybus, not fitted for overnight travel (not even USB charger).
They stopped us at midnight for dinner at a very dodgy place. Filthy, people not welcoming, pushy for sales and overpriced. I didn't eat, too dirty and noodles looked like they had been dead for some time.
Then we had to wait at Surat for next bus for1 hour in the very early hours. And That bus should go for scrap: old, dirty, rickety and A/C leaking all over us.
Ferry was ok luckily, as was the last van to my place, although driver was a tad rude.
NOT a journey I'recommend. Going through Chumpon with Lomphraya is a totally different experience.
We were left in the middle of no where early in the morning when we were to transfer to another bus. No one knew what to do and how long we were waiting. So it was confusing and stressful and tiring. The bus ride from bangkok to Surat Thani was really good, nice seats, nice service and comfortable. Bring extra clothes because the bus is very cold due to air con

It was great until the bus broke down half way through the journey. The bus broke down at midnight and we had to change buses. Luckily, there was another bus waiting so we didn't have to wait long, but me and my partner had to sit separately due to the bus being full already, the seats were not as comfortable, and we didn't get the meal that was supposed to come with our ticket. I understand these things happen but it was a bit of a disappointment.

Overall good. But ferry arrived 2h later than advertized. Seats could be more comfortable. VIP seats in first bus excellent. Also, snacks im VIP bus very delicicous, blanket and pillow were nice too. 2nd bus ride good but too much active cooling and I couldn't turn it off. Ferry was ok, but toilet on ferry was defective and very dirty. Toilet at the Southern Terminal in Bangkok was very dirty and no toilet paper and no soap. Also, midnight stop for eating was a bit too short and food was not super good. But I would recommend it to friends.
