Cristina CWe didnt expect such a long bus ride. There was no explanation as to how long the ferry vs bus was. We thought the ferry would be the main part of the trip instead of just 1.5h. The bus smelt bad, no reading lights available and ac didnt come from vents above our seats. We arrived 45min late

Jasper HBus was in a really bad shape, broken seats, not working seatbelts. Driver stopped 7 times without reason for 5-10 minutes what caused that we we’re 2 hours late in Bangkok!

Laura CIt was good but the information about the booking was not clear. I booked a 10hour boat (because it only said 'boat') but it turned out to be a 2 hour boat and a 8 hour bus. I only figured this out after asking at the pier. It was not said on the 12go website at all...

Artur We booked a combined ferry and VIP bus ticket from Koh Tao to Bangkok at the counter in Koh Tao. The process started off smoothly, but once we arrived in Chumphon, all passengers were required to queue again at a counter to show the bus ticket and collect a second sticker for the bus. Since the ferry was completely full, the line for the buses was very long and a bit chaotic.
The color-coded sticker system was helpful for organizing passengers, though it felt unnecessary to purchase a combined ticket in Koh Tao only to have to queue again in Chumphon for another verification step.
The VIP bus itself was very spacious and comfortable, with a toilet on board. There was only one 30-minute break along the way, which was sufficient. The journey overall was fine, but the bus arrived in Bangkok about 1.5 hours later than scheduled.

Isabelle VGreat organisation with stickers (simole but very efficient system). As we were 90% tourists on the boat/but, all was explained in English and very clear. Boat and bus both on time. Very comfortable bus. Makes a pitstop half way for toilet/food break. Also small break between boat-bus, so you can travel without any rush
