Excellent communication, safe driver. I might get the speed boat next time. The ferry is very slow. Anyway it offers a nice break in the journey.

We had to pay extra for two of our suitcases because the lady at the counter estimated that they weighed more than 10 kg, whereas our voucher allowed for one suitcase weighing less than 20 kg each. We showed them what was written in black and white, but nothing happened. We had to pay! This is not correct from this company.

We booked a connection departing at 12:00 from Ekkamai. We arrived in advance at 10:00. But the woman there told us that the bus is full and we have to wait until 14:00. What? We booked our seats online in advance. How is it even possible that you sell more tickets for a connection than how many people can actually fit in. We payed at your website and the price was about 100 baht higher then if we bought it at the station. So if I pay a higher price I expect also higher service. Not to wait for a connection which departures 150 minutes later than what I booked. Yes we departed at 14:30 even though we booked a connection at 12:00.

Driver has very aggressive style of driving. The bus is not very comfortable, no tables. Not very convenient to eat or drink something, no space for it
