Montanatip

Đó là một chuyến đi hơi mệt nhưng thú vị. Chỗ ngồi đủ thoải mái. Có một số thiếu sót, nhưng tôi nghĩ chúng ta có thể bỏ qua chúng khi nhìn vào giá cả và hiệu suất.

Đã thực hiện hành trình này ba lần với công ty này, mọi người ở bangkok đều rất đáng yêu, họ thì không, tôi bắt taxi đến bến tàu và họ

Mọi thứ đã rất tuyệt vời. Chỉ cần một nơi để nghỉ ngơi và ăn uống là khủng khiếp. Tôi thà dừng lại ở một trạm xăng cạnh 7/11 và Amazon hơn là ở một quán cà phê ven đường khủng khiếp với gián.

Xe buýt đã thoải mái! Thời gian chờ đợi không sao... đôi khi bạn phải đợi 10-30 phút cho chuyến đi kết nối của mình.. nhưng điều đó hoàn toàn không sao!!

Mang thêm 600mL nước và đồ ăn nhẹ. Xe buýt dừng sau nửa đêm để ăn và đi vệ sinh. Chỗ ngồi dành cho người có chiều cao châu Á, người cao hơn phải vặn người và chân. Tài xế xe buýt giục mọi người xuống lúc 5 giờ sáng. Công ty tại điểm chuyển xe đưa đón không chuẩn bị trước về số lượng người.. họ phải gọi nhiều xe đưa đón và đó là một cuộc tranh giành sôi nổi. Không có lựa chọn nào khác, chỉ chuẩn bị cho bạn những gì mong đợi.

Đoạn đầu tiên của chuyến đi giữa Hua Hin và Prachuap Khiri Khan vẫn ổn, ngoại trừ xe buýt bị trễ 1h15. Tại văn phòng của Prachuap Khiri Khan, một phụ nữ yêu cầu chúng tôi 200 tbh/người để đến Ao Nang. Phần thứ hai rất khó chịu, xe tải cũ, không có chỗ để chân và tài xế chở chúng tôi đến văn phòng ở thành phố Krabi. Và một người phụ nữ yêu cầu chúng tôi 150 tbh/người để tham gia Ao Nang - lần thứ hai! Không có cách nào để thảo luận! Tôi thất vọng vì những người điều hành chuyến đi không trung thực!

Xe bán tải đã sẵn sàng và đang đợi chúng tôi. Nhưng đưa bọn mình lên xe buýt rất lâu, vì muốn gom thêm một số người khác phải đợi 1h mới xoay xở được hết.

Lẽ ra xe buýt phải đến đường Khao san, nhưng nó đã không đến. Nó dừng lại ở trạm xe buýt cách khao san 20 phút. Chúng tôi đã phải thay đổi xe buýt địa phương.

Chuyến đi là tốt, chuyển giao đã diễn ra tốt đẹp. Tuy nhiên, bạn phải đặt một chiếc taxi để đến đón và đưa bạn về khách sạn khi bạn đến (400 baht cho 2 người). Thêm vào đó, AC hơi quá mạnh.

Đầu tiên, hãy bỏ qua các đánh giá khác về việc montanatrip đang cố lừa mọi người, tôi sẽ giải thích điều đó đã xảy ra với chúng tôi như thế nào. 10 giờ tối đón, đi xe buýt từ Hua Hin đến Krabi, chuyển sang minivan ở Surat Thani. Chúng tôi được đón tại điểm đón đúng giờ cùng với 3 cặp đôi khác. Điểm đón ở hua hin không phải là trạm xe buýt, nó chỉ đơn giản là tọa độ nơi xe buýt sẽ dừng ở giữa một ngã ba ở bên đường cạnh tháp đồng hồ, xác nhận đặt chỗ của 12GoAsia giải thích chính xác như vậy. Lúc đầu có vẻ hơi kỳ quặc nhưng xe buýt đã quay đầu và chờ đến giờ khởi hành nên mọi người đã được đón. Xe buýt xuất phát là Bangkok nên đã có rất nhiều người trên xe, bạn không thể chọn chỗ ngồi trước. Xe buýt rất thoải mái, có vẻ khá mới. Chúng tôi ở khoang dưới chỉ có 8 chỗ nên rất rộng rãi và chúng tôi ngồi cạnh nhau, ghế ngả ra sau rất nhiều. điều hòa rất lạnh nên mang theo quần áo ấm, chăn được cung cấp nhưng vẫn cảm thấy lạnh. Nước và khoai tây chiên giòn được đưa cho chúng tôi khi chúng tôi ngồi xuống cạnh người soát vé xe buýt. Xe buýt có một nhà vệ sinh nhưng không dễ chịu lắm, bản thân tôi cảm thấy đó là loại nhà vệ sinh 'chỉ sử dụng trong trường hợp khẩn cấp'! Không có vòi xả, xô nước và chảo điển hình dùng để đổ nước xuống, hơi lộn xộn. Chúng tôi đã có một bữa ăn tối 30 phút và nhà vệ sinh dừng lại khoảng 2 giờ lái xe tại một quán cà phê ven đường, nhà vệ sinh có lỗ trên mặt đất, điển hình là không có khăn giấy, vì vậy hãy mang theo của riêng bạn. Dù sao thì chúng tôi cũng không ăn vì đã muộn nhưng đồ ăn của những người khác trông vẫn ổn. Đến văn phòng ở Surat Thani sớm, không phải trạm xe buýt, chỉ là văn phòng montantrip, dỡ hành lý xuống xe buýt và phải đợi cho đến khi đúng xe tải nhỏ đến. Lưu ý: điểm này là nơi bắt nguồn của các đánh giá xấu. Tùy thuộc vào vé bạn đã mua tùy thuộc vào nơi bạn xuống, vé của chúng tôi cho biết chuyến tham quan Krabi Vichit, (bến xe buýt ở Krabi theo vé 12GoAsia) Khi chờ đợi tại văn phòng ở Surat Thani, họ sẽ cung cấp chuyến đi tiếp theo từ đó đến nơi của bạn. thêm một chút vị trí, ví dụ như chúng tôi đang ở AoNang. Thế là họ ngỏ ý chở tụi mình từ bến bus Krabi về AoNang thêm 200baht, 2 người, 25 phút đi xe. Chúng tôi đã từ chối vì chúng tôi nghĩ rằng chúng tôi sẽ sử dụng phương tiện giao thông địa phương từ Krabi. Việc lên xe tải nhỏ hoàn toàn không ảnh hưởng đến chúng tôi và chúng tôi rời văn phòng khoảng 30 phút sau khi xuống xe buýt chính khi xe tải nhỏ Krabi đến. Tuy nhiên, khi chiếc minivan đến Krabi, không có nhiều sự lựa chọn về chuyến đi tiếp theo lúc 8 giờ sáng nên tài xế đề nghị chúng tôi đi tiếp một lần nữa và sau đó chúng tôi chấp nhận, cùng mức giá, 100 baht mỗi người. Đưa chúng tôi đến cây sồi nơi đã đồng ý. Tất cả mọi thứ đã được mô tả và chấp nhận được. Tôi muốn giới thiệu nó.

Lo lắng sau khi đọc các nhận xét, nhưng chúng tôi đã được đón đúng giờ, đến đúng giờ, cung cấp dịch vụ taxi để đến đảo, chúng tôi không chấp nhận sau khi đọc các nhận xét, nhưng người phụ nữ đã đúng, đó là 400 baht cho hành trình 15 phút đến khách sạn, giống nhau như cô ấy đề nghị. Xe buýt thoải mái, có điều hòa, chăn / nước, giờ nghỉ để đi vệ sinh / ăn uống (không hiểu sao mọi người lại đánh giá không tốt về điều này, đó là một chặng đường dài cho các tài xế)

Tất cả mọi thứ diễn ra tốt đẹp. Tôi không có khiếu nại về dịch vụ và 3 lần vận chuyển. Tất cả đều đúng giờ.

Tuyệt vời và xe buýt cá nhân ở Bangkok quá! Kết nối dài 2h30 với Surat Thani và những nhân viên không thân thiện đang cố gắng gạt chúng tôi ra.

Ghế ngồi thoải mái, nhưng tôi được xếp vào một trong những chiếc ghế duy nhất có ít hoặc không có chỗ để chân, điều này gây khó chịu cho tôi vì tôi khá cao. Xe buýt đến hơi muộn, nhưng chúng tôi đến sớm hơn dự kiến. Người tài xế xe buýt cũng rất niềm nở, cung cấp nước, khoai tây chiên và chăn, dừng lại trên đường để ăn và đi vệ sinh.

Nó rất lộn xộn và không ai có thể nói cho bạn biết chuyện gì đang xảy ra. Ngoài ra, một phụ nữ nói với tôi rằng nó là 250 baht để lên xe buýt sẽ đưa tôi đến thị trấn Surat Thani, nhưng nó thực sự miễn phí. Chúng tôi chỉ đi được nửa đường đến thị trấn và quay lại và họ bắt một số người trong chúng tôi xuống xe và lên những chiếc xe tải khác. Sau đó, họ sẽ không trả lại tiền cho tôi mặc dù không ai khác phải trả. Sau đó, họ thả chúng tôi ở một nơi ngẫu nhiên và xe buýt đón chúng tôi ở đó, trong khi không ai biết chuyện gì đang xảy ra. Và chúng tôi đã trễ một giờ so với kế hoạch, điều đó sẽ ổn thôi nếu tôi biết chuyện gì đang xảy ra và không nghĩ rằng mình đã lỡ chuyến xe buýt mà lẽ ra tôi phải lên.

Sau khi qua phà, chúng tôi phải đổi 3 chiếc minivan và một chiếc xe tuktuk và cũng đợi chiếc cuối cùng giữa chừng không biết ở đâu. Khi anh ấy đến, người lái xe đã dừng rất nhiều điểm, không phải điểm dừng nào dành cho hành khách (ngoại trừ khi chúng tôi đợi ai đó ở sân bay - điều này gây ra sự chậm trễ khác). Các điểm dừng chủ yếu để người lái xe lấy hoặc vượt qua thứ gì đó, và chúng tôi đến lúc 8:30 tối thay vì 7 giờ tối.

The driver drove so close to the vehicle’s in front, he had to push the brake almost every 10 second. Once he had to hit the brake so hard that people woke up in big panic, and belongings went everywhere. Luckily no accidents occurred - the function of the brake-pedal turned out being useful :-/ 1. note: Now it finally makes sense why they try to add on a travel insurance, for a bus trip. 2. note: Remember to put on your seat belt. At 1 AM he stopped the bus, turned on the lights in the cabin, woke everybody up and yelled out loud that now was eating break. In the middle of the night, while everyone was a sleep. - what the f is going on. However, the bus was very comfortable and clean. The staff (and the owner himself) at the office was informative and friendly. But once the bus arrives and the operation changes from purchasing tickets and getting informations on how to check-in - everything changes. You are being yelled at - you dont get any informations - you have to hurry, to fit their time schedules. We also bought an extended ticket from Surat Thani to Khao Lak directly from the operator at their main office. The owner told me it was the same company that operated for both busses, so there was no problem. He said a van would take us on the second trip once we arrived at Surat Thani. We had a “VIP” ticked, so we expected just descent comfort and service - or maybe just not to be yelled at… We traveled with our 6 year old kid, and came directly from a shitty bus drive, with almost no sleep. The van worse “service” experience we have ever had (I’m 40 and have traveled a lot). A mad little Thai guy yelling and being super stressed was our new driver. Well, same company - “VIP” tickets - decided to believe it was just a normal human being having a bad moment. The minivan was old crap - we were stacked together inside like cattle’s. After half an hour (of crazy speeding) we stopped - again, no informations prior to this - and was ordered inside of an even older bus - now managing travelling suitcases for the third time… This bus appeared to be a normal route-bus with lots of stops and local people hopping on and off. Very tired, and very confused, we once asked if we could go out and use a toilet, as it appeared the driver had stopped the bus to take a cigarette-break. I was told “no, only 40 minutes to next stop”. So my 6-year old had to do his best, not to piss his pants for 40 more minutes. Finally after 40 minutes, the bus stopped at what appeared to be a central bus point with food court and toilets. I asked how how long time we had, and the drivers helper (yes they were 2 persons) said “we leave in 2 minutes” - so leaving travelling suitcases and everything else behind in a bus where they do not care about you, we were in a mad hurry, to find the toilet, get stuff done, and get back to the bus. And we managed it in time. Now still feeling like shit after a horrible night and morning, hungry as well, we sat in the bus for 10 more minutes, as the driver was still on a break and appeared to have a nice conversation with a lovely female colleague at the bus station. Many cigarettes consumed, a lot of laughter. - looked nice. So I went out and asked them, if they were waiting until 10:30 (we came around 10:05)as there was a sign saying 10:30 for the bus line “Suray Thani - Phuket”. Once again he said “no, leave in 2 minutes” I told him it would be nice if we could tell the passengers that everyone can have a break, not just the driver. When being confronted with this lack of service, they suddently could not speak English anymore. A couple of seconds after, it appeared that they realised the stupidity. Now they acted as if I was invisible

Hello! I bought a night bus ticket with the goal of spending the night and safely catching a big bus to Hat Yai. First, I waited 40 minutes on the highway for a passing bus to pick me up. And this is where the story should have ended. But at five o'clock in the morning the bus dropped off all the passengers in the middle of the village and went back to Bangkok. After waiting another hour, at an unknown location, they placed me and my luggage into a small minivan. As a result, we made a circle, stopped at a gas station, after which the car returned to where it left, after which the driver refused to go. After waiting for an undetermined amount of time, I was put into a small tuk-tuk and taken to the bus station in the nearest town. Where I still had to wait for a long time. As a result, they put me in another minivan. They demanded that I pay money for the ticket, although I had paid everything in advance. They refused to provide proof of payment or a new ticket. So we had to drive for another five hours. I bought a ticket for a VIP bus and was not warned that I would be woken up in the middle of the night and forced to shake in a small car, holding my luggage so that it did not roll around the car. I also got seasick in the small, shaking car. Paying for VIP, I expected a different attitude. While the workers were moving my luggage from car to car, the entire suitcase was worn out. I have photographs of all the transport and a boarding pass for the first bus I paid for, which did not take me to my destination.

The bus constantly beeped throughout the whole ride.

Friendly, fast and uncomplicated. Just sometimes need to wait what’s going on. But would do it again. Very cold at the bus. Small seats on the left side of the bus.

Noisey rattling bus.

Very good

👍

Have to wait 4 hours at the pier mittlerweile in the night

Our least favourite bus comfort and interior wise in the 2 months we have been travelling. Not enough leg room, bus not in great condition, we did the evening bus which gets you to the port at around 3am rather than parking up and letting you sleep for a few hours at the port on the bus (considering this is our most expensive trip yet) you have to get off and lie on wooden benches at the closed port until the morning. The boat trip was super bumpy, we don’t get travel sick but had to take tablets and sit outside, everyone inside was vomiting it was like an apocalypse :’) I think next time we would get a day time bus so we don’t have to sleep on wooden benches at the port.

Bus arrived 1 hour late, we made a stop at a disgusting Restaurant and the toilet was just not usable. The AC dropped water on us. We had way better bus rides in Thailand.

Uncomfortable bus, the seats were not fixed properly. The staff that should have helped people to reach the seat was unfriendly and rude. Despite this, the bus arrived pretty much on time. We did just one stop in a place that was not very well equipped (I experienced also the way back from Bangkok to Koh Phangan and we stopped in a very well equipped area, with many food alternatives that was very close to the place in which this bus stopped).

The pick up point lacks any identification or instructions and the bus was late and did not have operable power outlets

the trip was nice but they try to overcharge for a leg of the trip I didn't request for. I bought the ticket to Krabi and after I got to surat thani, for the connection, the lady asked where I would go after Krabi and simply told me to pay her 250 for this final leg of the trip. I didn't request this service, didn't ask how much it was, and even after I said "no", she said "then how do you go?". be careful with scams.

I felt I was shuffled about like a bit of cattle. 1st bus was a partybus, not fitted for overnight travel (not even USB charger). They stopped us at midnight for dinner at a very dodgy place. Filthy, people not welcoming, pushy for sales and overpriced. I didn't eat, too dirty and noodles looked like they had been dead for some time. Then we had to wait at Surat for next bus for1 hour in the very early hours. And That bus should go for scrap: old, dirty, rickety and A/C leaking all over us. Ferry was ok luckily, as was the last van to my place, although driver was a tad rude. NOT a journey I'recommend. Going through Chumpon with Lomphraya is a totally different experience.

The seats were comfortable but with each stop the lights went on and disrupted my sleep. The leg-room was too short. The temperature was 2 degrees too cold.

It was a bit confusing at the beginning because there was a little information about the ride and how we will proceed after the ferry from koh phangan. But in the end it went pretty smooth. Someone was waiting for us at the exit of the ferry (so it is advised to wear the sticker you got to be recognised). Then with a van we went to a tour office in Surat thani. Here we could buy food and drinks and couls also charge our phone. We waited until 7pm until the large bus arrived. It seemed more like a party bus (with karaoke on board, and some fancy green and pink lights). The large bus was overall comfortable, we even got some blankets for the trip. One stop around midnight, and we reached Bangkok pretty on time.

The bus was 45 minutes late and no one warned us. Then we stopped during the trip, and people started asking us where we were going, the name of our hotels and asked us for 200b to take us there. I said I’d get a taxi directly from the bus station but they said it was not possible to do so. So we all had to pay around 200 (which btw was 2x the price of a grab) and couldn’t explain to them that it wasn’t planned.

Good Main Drive from Bangkok to suritami, but with many stops, because Driver was checking Bus engine. One good Main Stop at a Bistro at the Highway for eating. About 2-3 Pick ups and Drops of people joining. All in all good, but arrived in suritami WE lost 2 hours because they let us sit and wait in Bistro and Bus, top collect more people. Then drove arround 30 MinutesJust arround suritami top Pick Up Others and than finally changed from the van to an old Bus. After that a 60 Minutes Drive to the harbour and another 90 Minutes for ferry Transport to Koh samui

The coach broke down multiple times but despite this the poor guys kept trying to fix it which was good and they did finally do it so we could carry on. The organisation was ok, unfortunately I had booked for the wrong day and they still managed to squeeze us in which was incredible! Communication was not ideal so we didn’t really know what was going on when the coach broke down but all good in the end and only 2 hours late from the predicted time!

Very hard to sleep on this bus

We took this trip from the Phi Phi islands to Bangkok. First we took a ferry to the mainland which was very cramped. My knees touched the seat in front of me, and I am not a large man. At the pier in Krabi, we had to ask around ourselves to find the next vehicle, which was not a bus but a van that took us to somewhere nearby. There, we wanten for another 15 minutes for another van that took us to Surat Thani. In Surat Thani, we stopped at an open shop at the corner of two streets where we were told to wait 20 minutes. 20 became 40 until a party bus arrived to take us to Bangkok. The bus was not very comfortable, with a platform where the chairs stond on. This platform didn't extend fully under the chair in the aisle seat, meaning you could not comfortably set your feet on the ground. At 12.00 we stopped for 40 minutes at some small place by the road. Finally we arrived at Bangkok about an hoor after schedule. Food and water was not included in the trip. I would recommend booking with another company if you want some more comfort. We did get from A to B though.

Everything was fine. Forgot my Passport in the bus, 2 days later it was brought to my Hotel, thanks for the effort!

If you have a little bit of spare money and love for yourself, buy a trip with more comfort. The bus is way to small for someone with 196 cm length. No possibility to sleep in. The bus arrived at 0300 in the morning on the pier. You have to wait 4 hours on a small wooden bench, also verry uncomfortable to sleep. I booked this trip to get a extra day time on holiday, but was again sleeping in my hostel due to the terrible trip.

no room for legs

In the bus a comfortable overnight stay with blankets and a stop after 5 hours to eat, etc.. After 8.5 hours arrival at the pier and crossed with the first ferry at 7 o'clock na Ko Tao. Waiting time was o.k.

In the night bus we were sitting downstairs in a small cabin and had less space for our legs and couldn't put the chairs in the sleeping position because of the wall behind us. There are different seats in the bus with much more space but we hadn't the chance to choose. We had been told before that we have to wait for the ferry for several hours, so we arrived at 3:30 am to the Pier and the ferry left at 7 am to Koh Tao. It was a very uncomfortable time for us - why not have a waiting room for passengers available???

The Montanatip bus from Bangkok arrived to the pier at 2.30 am, and the ferry didn't leave until 07 am. We had to sleep on benches and hang out with mosquitoes. It would have been nice to get the itinerary beforehand, so I could have considered other options. The bus and ferry was on time though👍

The bus was supposed to be VIP and comfortable. It wasn’t and it wasn’t enough for the person next to me who was TALL. He couldn’t find a comfortable position all night and kept waking me up. I couldn’t also, the chairs aren’t good. Around midnight you stop so we can eat (this is quite late, but is ok) to find out they have nothing without chiken or pork. You need to understand we are in 2023 and many people don’t abuse or eat animals anymore. If you can’t offer a bit of tofu, then you leave people with nothing to choose. Tofu is cheap and easy to cook, many thai restaurants offer it. The bus also arrived 4:30 am when it was scheduled to arrive 6:00. This could be great, but if you think about it, to arrive in kaosan at 4:30 isn’t great, what do you do with 1:30 there? It’s dangerous, dirty and puts you in an uncomfortable position. The rest was ok, I put a 2 star for you to read this and see if you can improve something.

I had a great experience. The VIP bus is extremely comfortable and if you manage to sleep the time will fly.

The party bus was not the most comfortable, the seats were very rigid and you could not lay down entirely. Besides it was easy to find and it arrived on time to my final destination.

All in all the tour was very well organised and exactly like it was planned.The bus for the long drive from Bangkok to Surat Thani (10 hours) was very comfortable. You get a blanket, water and snack. For the price definitly worth it. Sometimes it seems chaotic and you don't really know what is happening next, but that's maybe the thai way of doing things. If anything the people from the bus company were not friendly at all. Sometimes you felt like a sheep being moved from one place to another. Other than that worth it, especially because of the price.

Good organization, not particularly comfortable, blankets not so clean

This is Thailand and you should accept that everything can change during the trip, however you will always reach your destination 😉 VIP bus is great.

The only negative feedback was that we had to wait for 4 hours for the ferry at the pier but there was no where inside to sit and there was lots of mosquitos. We got eaten alive!
