I paid extra for a luxury ticket and it was the same seats as everyone else. Seats were uncomfortable.

Not good at all. Employees talking loud all night. Or if not playing stupid videos with sound on on their phones. Seats not comfy.

It was a very impressive trip. The bus is clean. The seats are comfortable and there is an automatic massage service. Very good. And there is also a delicious food service. Next time I will definitely use the service again.

I paid extra for vip. I ended up getting a nice seat alone in the last row by chance, but easily I could’ve been in a two person seat, which I was not expecting. Also, there was a stop 5 hrs in, while we left at 21:00, so it disturbed the sleep. We then had about 2 hrs to our ferry to Ko Tao. Overall though we did get snacks and a small water bottle.
