Excellent. From the easy and fast booking, to the comfort and clean Van. Very good driver and helped me to make a transfer to arrive to another location.
The first leg from Rayong to Bangkok was great. The second from Bangkok to Kimchamuri was terrible we left 10.30 instead of 12.30 and the driver drove like he was out for suicidal. He drove on the wrong side of the road to get by other cars and were speeding the whole time
The bus made unnecessary stops to drop people off at random locations throughout Rayong. We also booked to Ban Phe and had to find a taxi from the station to the pier. Just something to look out for. The check-in staff was not able to communicate.
First of all, it was pretty easy to find the exact terminal from where the mini-bus departed. Seats were decent, but not comfortable for long tours. Bus departed exactly on time. The only issue is that the bus takes a long route instead of the normal short one which increases the travel time by 45mins to 1hr. So please keep this in mind. Overall tour was nice, driver was friendly as well. Did not face any trouble mid-way.
One small note: For me, 12go.asia showed wrong time-schedule (just once until now), so please cross check with the operator before booking. The return trip from rayong to ekkamai, bangkok showed departure time as 13:00h in 12go.asia, but when I reached the bus terminal at rayong, they said the bus is scheduled to depart at 13:30h. Thats it!

Very good ride, on time, clean vehicle and polite driver.
If you are tall, forget it - less leg space. If you have luggage, also forget it as there is no baggage compartments. You need to buy extra seat or two for the luggage. And there was very strong air fragrance smell which gave headache.
Apart from that, it was clean, on time and drive was smooth.
Our trip going to Rayong was scheduled at exactly 10:30am but we have to wait for another 30 mins because the van was delayed. We sincerely asked the operators why our trip was moved to 11am but it was so hard to communicate with them since they don't speak English that much.

I didn't use it, i took another trip to Hua Hin with another traveling agency
We have to take 1 More seat for luggage and that was not necessary.
Too small for a tal person.
Nobody speak english. So it was very hard to know where we have to stop exactly because the bus stop many Times.
Booking online was easy. Print out your reservation. Once at Mochit New Van Terminal, check-in was simple. If you arrive early and there is room on an earlier van, Rayong Tour will accommodate you. So plan ahead for Bangkok traffic to get to the terminal in time, but if you are there early, you may be able to get on the road early as well. The ride was smooth, the driver was good, and the van was comfortable. The driver made a “comfort stop” for the restroom and stretching about halfway through the trip. The trip took about 50 minutes longer than advertised, but you can attribute that to traffic. It’s not to be unexpected, so plan accordingly. When we arrived at the final stop, it is a coffee shop with the Rayong Tour office there. My wife, who is Thai, asked the lady at the window if there were taxis or transportation nearby to take us to our hotel. She told my wife no. So I went online and booked a “Grab car” (think Uber) for 600 baht to take us to our hotel. Well, as we learned the next day, one block away was the Rayong Bus Station Number 1. At this station, there are “songtaews” (covered pickup trucks with two rows of seating) that operate around Rayong for public transportation. Why did the woman at Rayong Tour office not give us this information when we asked ? In retrospect, seems like malicious intent as she dismissed my wife with few words.
Lessons learned:
1. There are TWO Mochit terminals. Be sure you go to the address on your reservation for the “New Van Terminal.”
2. Print out your reservation for ease at the terminal. Do not rely on your phone.
3. When in Rayong, know that there are several color-coded songtaew transportation lines. They cost 20-25 baht per person vs. 600 baht for a private car.
4. Don’t listen to the woman at Rayong Tour in the coffee shop near Star Market in Rayong. She doesn’t care about you.
We departed on time and arrived way before the time that was mentioned on the timetable. Good driver, comfortable seats. Good service at the Bangkok bus station, they brought us all the way to our van. The van services at Rayong bus station were not honest with prices for transfer to the koh samet pier..
Trip went very smoothly. I came early to Rayong Bus Terminal 2 and they put me on an earlier minivan that left 5 min later. Van had very comfortable seats, but legroom was not great.
We went from Rayong to Bangkok, getting to the bus station (the new one - terminal 2) in Rayong was ok (take a bus for 15 baht), the bus station is small and we got our tickets fast. The van is ok, seats are small for tall persons, the ride was fast but we got stuck in the Bangkok in a traffic jam for an hour or so. From there we crossed Chatuchak park to get to the skytrain.
The journey was perfect, the problem is that the counter is very difficult to find at the station. Tere are several 95 counters. We arrive at 7:30 and didn't find it until 8:25. In the counter isnt written Rayong tour in english and nobody knew where It was when I saw the bus tickets
