Khao San to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

Very confortable, free coffee during the trip, and the persons working there are sooo nice, especially one of the girl who is speaking in the microphone, so cute 🥰 Just something bad: too much AC!! You have to put the temperature higher, it’s too cold in the bus

I opted for the somewhat more expensive luxury class, assuming it would guarantee a comfortable long bus journey. Unfortunately, the exact opposite was true: there is probably no more uncomfortable bus than the one we were given for the trip from Bangkok to Surat Thani. Surprisingly, the seats in the left row are further apart than those in the right. This allows passengers in the left row to at least stretch their legs a little. I had the misfortune of sitting in the right row... All the seats recline by perhaps 5 degrees; a near-lying position is out of the question. The fold-up footrest is completely useless, at least in the right row, as it automatically collides with the seat in front. For a journey of over 11 hours, this is unacceptable; I would expect considerably more comfort. I would be interested to know what distinguishes the luxury class from the VIP and standard classes. The price is the highest, but the standard is the lowest...🤬 On the positive side, the punctuality and the very friendly tour guide, who speaks excellent English, showed a sense of humor and explained everything very clearly, were noteworthy.
