Disgusting conditions and they fill the bus with people they pick up from the street on the way, not to mention almost 2 hours late. Never again

The seats were pretty comfortable, so that was fine, we had a bit of delay because of the traffic, but that’s not the operators fault. The toilet was quite bad to be honest, it reeked pretty bad and you could smell it through the whole bus. The organization was good, we were briefed prior to the bus drive. There was also food prepared for us which is nice. Food was not the best but it was ok.

Light on/off, hard ac right on my head (if so turn it off it gets so hot), change bus and and wait at some strange place. Trying to sell expensive taxi rides to people. Chang to a bus with small seats and no cover to ac. Just open pipe. Not nice. Wrong arrival time. It Asia’s 9:30 but impossible because ferry leave at 9 every time.

Went well. Instructions said arrive at Khao San Road latest 8.30pm for 9.30pm departure. In fact they started checking people in at 7pm and the bus left at 8.45pm - if you arrived at 8.30 it would be chaos as the office was packed with people waiting for later departures. VIP bus was comfortable but old, no charger sockets despite a pre-recorded announcement that they were in everything seat. Other pre-recorded information was clear and helpful (journey times, planned stops etc). Rest stop at ~2am was clean and modern. Ferry was OK, definitely recommend motion sickness pills (and the sea was calm). They wanted 200 bhat for "VIP" ferry seating (extra even with VIP bus ticket and very few seats - sold out very fast). I didn't pay so can't comment). All went smoothly enough.
