Surat Thani Bus Terminal to Bangkok Destination Reviews

ET
Overall good. Acceptable. I bought two tickets and unfortunately, the foot part of my partner's seat was broken, making the ride more uncomfortable because of that. Also at the time of purchase it indicated that a meal was included in addition to the snack and that didn't happen. But overall it was okay.

If you are taller than 175cm, you will be uncomfortable in their chairs

Very comfortable chairs, blanket, small snack and free bottle of water. When it comes to night busses, this is probably the best you can get.

Fixed on the outside, nothing on the inside. The bus was in mediocre condition, the technology didn't work, neither the advertised TV nor the massage function. There wasn't much to eat either, just a few dry cookies. It was dripping from the ceiling and the temperature was arctic. The tour guide didn't understand English and had no idea which stop we were at....

Trip was great. Very confy bus (and am a plus size) with chairs that make massages which was amazing. Mine worked well so i used the massage option for a bit. AC worked well. They give you water, free lunch at a food hall, goodbye snack too! We got a bit late but I was already expecting it. Super amazing value for money.

Bus was comfortable to sit on, seats reclined well. However, legs especially knees & feet end up hurting and aching because of how you’re laid/ sat - making it very difficult to get in a comfortable sleeping position. Would recommend overall, it was surprisingly quick for a 12hr journey, there weren’t any issues & can’t argue with price either. USB ports on bus do eventually work once you’d been travelling for a bit too.

The seat were confortable. The staff was friendly. They gave snacks and water. There is a stop a midnight to eat (for free), which is a bit late. We arrived at Bangkok at around 5 am, which is a bit early.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
