巴士从曼谷到龜島

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.

The ferry ride was terrible for everyone on board. Why not give warnings about stormy sea to have people take anti sickness medicine? And despite taking it still got sick by the way. The bus was good, BUT they advertised reclining seats, I was seated in last row, not possible to recline the seat and the two passengers infront of me reclined their seat to the very maximun and left me squeazed in the back.

The AC wasn’t really working in the bus so it was very hard to fall asleep. They gave us a blanket but it would only have helped if the AC would work. And the operator was around one hour late.

I accidentally booked my ferry ticket a week later than i would have, made a call and they easily change the date with no more questions or any more orders. Liked that.

Everything went smooth, maybe little bit to expensive…

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.

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👍
